Undisputed is a
2002 action movie released through
Miramax. The film starred and was co-produced by
Wesley Snipes, directed by
Walter Hill, and written by
David Giler and Walter Hill, who is probably best known as the writer/director of
48 Hours and
Streets of Fire, but has most recently directed
Supernova. He co-wrote the film with David Giler, with whom he had previously collaborated on
Alien3 and
Southern Comfort.
In this film that is surely reminiscent of the real-life events of
Mike Tyson and
Desiree Washington, James "Iceman" Chambers (Rhames), a heavyweight boxing champion, is convicted of rape and sentenced to prison; which turns his world upsidedown. Apparently, the warden allows a limited amount of boxing to take place at the prison, and an old-time con, Mendy Ripsten (Falk) arranges a fight between Chambers and the undisputed prison champion, Monroe Hutchens (Snipes), who is the top ranked prison boxing champ 10 years running. Immediately there is bad blood with Chambers not wanting to be second to no one which leads to a lunch room fight between the men. Ripstein, who is a true historian and lover of boxing, arranges worldwide betting on the big fight to see who is the real UNDISPUTED champ.
