Colin Hart and Ethan Hart were on the red carpet. Plot: Set in the year 2000, The Smashing Machine tells the true story of Mark Kerr, one of the most dominant fighters in the early days of the UFC. Inside the cage he was unstoppable, but outside he wrestled with addiction, fame, and fractured relationships. With his then-wife Dawn Staples (played by Emily Blunt) at his side, Kerr’s battle for glory collides with his struggle for survival. Director Benny Safdie blends intense MMA sequences with an intimate portrait of resilience, heartbreak, and the cost of chasing greatness. The film will be released in the UK on 3 October 2025.
