Two Olympic medal-winning wrestling brothers, Mark (Channing Tatum) and Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo), get involved with the eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Steve Carell). Wrestling fanatic du Pont first approaches Mark, who's busy training for another shot at the Olympics. He forms "Team Foxcatcher" and Mark's involvement entices other high-level athletes to join.
Eventually, Mark's older brother Dave joins as well and moves to the du Pont compound with his young family, but he begins to realize du Pont, who openly bullies and demeans Mark, is showing signs of mental illness.
Based on Mark's Schultz's autobiography of the same name.
