At that very moment, a truck rams their car from behind and Paige crashes through the windshield.

Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) is an American welterweight boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts. Managed by his mother, Alice Ward (Melissa Leo), and trained by his older half-brother, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), Micky has not had a particularly successful career: He's become a "stepping stone" for other boxers to defeat on their way up. Complicating matters, Dicky, a former boxer whose peak of success was going the distance with Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978 (before Leonard became a world champion), has fallen apart since then, becoming addicted to crack cocaine. He is now being filmed for an HBO documentary he believes to be about his "comeback".

The film begins with Beau (Hedlund), singing with Kelly (Paltrow), a recovering alcoholic going through rehab. Beau is clearly smitten by her, and it is later revealed that the two have been having an affair, even though Kelly is married to James (McGraw). Kelly is checked out of rehab a month early by James, who wants her to go on a three-city tour to restore her image. She agrees on the condition that Beau becomes her opening act, but James has already made plans to see Chiles Stanton (Meester), a beauty queen with potential to become a rising singer, perform that night in hopes that she will be Kelly's opener instead.

Neïla Salah, originaire de Créteil, a toujours voulu devenir avocate. Dès ses premiers jours à l'université Panthéon-Assas, elle est confrontée au professeur Pierre Mazard, connu pour ses provocations et ses méthodes particulières. Il a un accrochage avec une étudiante arrivée en retard, qui fait une entrée assez bruyante . Il demande à cette étudiante perturbatrice de lui donner son nom, puis de définir Prénom et Nom, puisqu'il n'est pas sensé , comme de juste de connaître tous les prénoms étrangers. Il fait aussi remarquer que le droit français a évolué depuis Napoléon I, contrairement à la Charia, ce qui est vrai. Il donne pour exemple le choix des prénoms, il plaisante : " avant il fallait choisir le prénom dans le calendrier, à présent on peut appeler son enfant Carte Orange". Du coup, assez bizarrement, il est accusé de racisme. Pour se racheter et un peu manipulé par le directeur de l'université qui « ne peut plus le couvrir », Pierre est contraint de préparer Neïla à un prestigieux concours d’éloquence. Malgré son cynisme et son exigence, Neïla semble trouver en Pierre le mentor dont elle avait besoin. Tous deux vont cependant devoir tout d'abord passer au-dessus de leurs préjugés respectifs.
