Dwayne Johnson assumes the character of MMA legend and UFC champion Mark Kerr in *The Smashing Machine*. A24’s latest trailer provides the best look yet at the *Fast and Furious* movie star and WWE icon in this highly anticipated role.

Penned and helmed by *Uncut Gems*’ Benny Safdie, *The Smashing Machine* explores Kerr’s journey marked by tournaments and titles, overshadowed by personal challenges. The trailer emphasizes Kerr’s connection with his then-wife Dawn Staples, played by Emily Blunt, and his struggle with addiction, all accompanied by a powerful interpretation of Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds.”

From merely two minutes of this trailer, it seems that viewers will undergo multiple rounds of emotional upheaval with *The Smashing Machine*.

*The Smashing Machine* debuted at the Venice International Film Festival prior to its theatrical debut on Oct. 3.
