The movie "Screwed: The Montreal Screwjob Story" is a biopic about the infamous wrestling match that took place in Montreal in 1997. The event is known as the Montreal Screwjob, and it involved wrestling legends Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.
The biopic begins with a short history of Bret Hart's career in the WWF. He had become one of the most popular wrestlers of all time, known for his technical skills and his ability to connect with audiences. However, in 1997, his contract with WWF was coming to an end, and he had already signed a contract with his biggest competitor, WCW. WWF owner Vince McMahon was determined not to let Hart leave WWF without giving him one final match, even though Hart had become disillusioned with the company and its direction.
The story then shifts to the night of the match in Montreal. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were scheduled to have a match for the WWF championship. However, McMahon had hatched a plan to trick Hart into losing the match, despite Hart's insistence on winning. The plan involved a "screwjob", in which Michaels would win the match by submission, even though Hart had not agreed to lose. This led to a chaotic scene in the ring, with Hart being left angry and humiliated.
The biopic explores the lead-up to the Screwjob, including McMahon's plans, Hart's objections, and Michaels' involvement. It also looks at the aftermath of the match, including the fallout between McMahon and Hart, who had once been close friends.
