action
Rocky won the tough fight against the mighty Russian Drago, but his health is badly damaged and battered. Add to this a financial tragedy from Rocky's tax advisor bad investments and tax evasion. They force Rocky and his family to start all over with no money. Back in Philadelphia, Rocky is now the trainer in Mickey's old boxing school. He meets the young boxing talent Tommy Gunn and becomes friends with him. He trains him from now on and even neglects his son for it, who is now increasingly distancing himself from Rocky.
But Tommy wants to have a great career and a lot of money. He then leaves his coach Rocky soon to get the Duke to the desired world championship fight faster, as he has the current world champion Cane under contract. He wins the belt in a world championship match against Cane, but does not get the recognition he wanted, as the public believes that Rocky, who only resigned the title, is still the champ and Tommy against the "weakling" Cane was only "managed" for champ.
Despite this disappointment, Rocky fevered with his former protégé, and when he thanks the man who made it possible after winning the title, Rocky initially also believes that Tommy would still think of him. When Tommy then referred to George Washington Duke as this man, Rocky withdrew humiliated into the "Lucky Seven Tavern". There the duke, who is aiming for a Balboa vs Gunn boxing match, heats Tommy to challenge Rocky to a fight in the boxing ring to find out once and for all who the better fighter and the real champ is. Furthermore, Duke would make a lot of money with such a fight. Rocky doesn't want to know anything about it at first, but when Tommy hits Paulie, he provokes Rocky to the extreme. Things escalate and Rocky has to prove that he is still the fighter he once was. Rocky and Tommy are now fighting for the honor right on the street, with Rocky emerging as the winner. In the last scene, Rocky and his son, who is now on good terms with his father, walk up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum. Rocky now wants to enjoy his private life.

Reviews
"The result is a visually unsatisfactory, word-heavy film in which the author Stallone has written a role for the actor Stallone on the muscular body that he can only fill in a few moments. [...] Since even the boxing scenes turned out to be completely unsatisfactory, we can only hope that 'Rocky V' does mark the end of the series. It is to be feared, however, that Stallone will not let the figure he created disappear into social insignificance; maybe there will be a comeback after all. "
"Rising out of the ashes after many retreats, 'Rocky V' is just a dissolute but good-natured reminder of what kept Rocky Balboa afloat for 14 years."
"Unsatisfactory continuation of the boxer saga, staged with heavy dialogue and wooden, full of dramatic weaknesses, even boring in the boxing scenes."
"The only good thing you can say about 'Rocky V' is that Stallone at least has the brains to throw in the towel."
