Pumping Iron
Pumping Iron was the world’s first introduction to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno. The bodybuilding documentary focuses on the two athletes and their battle at the 1975 Mr. Olympia. This film, which was directed and produced by George Butler, led to the increase of gyms built in the United States. Three sequels were created due to its popularity, including Pumping Iron II: The Women and Raw Iron, which reunites the cast and crew from the original film.
