The film highlights his numerous successes, including winning titles such as Mr. America, IFBB Mr. World, Mr. Universe, and Masters Olympia. Despite retreating from public view in recent years, Robinson’s passion for bodybuilding has remained unwavering. Now in his late 70s, he continues to maintain a physique that defies his age, serving as a testament to his dedication to the sport.
The documentary also explores Robinson’s present-day life and his unexpected friendship with entrepreneur Tim Taylor. Taylor’s decision to hire Robinson for a training session led to a deep bond between the two men, with Robinson sharing his transformative fitness program with Taylor.
