The Rock producing movie about NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles

Former college wrestling star Anthony Robles is having his life story adapted into a movie with help from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Johnson and his company Seven Bucks are producing "Unstoppable," which tells the story of how Robles, who was born with only one leg, overcame every obstacle to become a 2011 NCAA champion, two-time ESPY Award winner, and a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee, according to Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr. The script is based on Robles' 2012 memoir, "Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion."

"Words cannot express how honored I am to have my story made into a film," Robles said in a statement. "Because I was born missing my leg, my entire life I've had to deal with people having low expectations of me. When I got into wrestling, most people thought it was impossible for me to become even an average wrestler.

"I'm hopeful that people who see 'Unstoppable' will walk away believing that you should never let your challenges define you. If you have a goal, go after it with everything you've got. Nothing is impossible."
