"Southpaw" is about a boxer who fights his way to the top, only to find his life falling apart around him, according to the Internet Movie Database.
The director of “Southpaw,” Antoine Fuqua, is from Pittsburgh. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School and attended West Virginia University.
Pittsburgh has attracted movies ranging from the blockbuster “The Dark Knight Rises” to the lower-budget “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”
In 2010, Gyllenhaal worked in Pittsburgh to film “Love and Other Drugs,” which also starred Anne Hathaway.
