When wealthy John du Pont (Steve Carell) invites Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) to move to his estate and help form a wrestling team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Mark sees a way to step out of the shadow of his charismatic and revered brother, Dave (Mark Ruffalo) and instantly accepts his offer. However, du Pont begins to lead Mark down a dark path, causing the athlete’s self-esteem to slip and meanwhile becomes fixated on recruiting Dave to ‘Team Foxcatcher’. Throughout their constant power struggles in the pursuit of victory tensions and paranoia run high and all three men are propelled towards an unforeseen tragedy that will change their lives forever.
