From Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach California to the showdown in Pretoria, amateur and professional bodybuilders prepare for the 1975 Mr. Olympia, and Mr. Universe contests in this part scripted the part documentary film.

Some of the best parts in Pumping Iron feature Arnold’s rivalry with fellow bodybuilding bigwig Ferrigno, including their in-depth demonstrations of how they developed their world-class physiques.
