Running Up 72 Steps

Rocky, released in 1976, was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer from Philadelphia who gets a shot at the heavyweight champion. It won Best Picture and Best Director. Its training montage made a flight of museum steps famous.

Before dawn, Rocky drinks raw eggs, punches sides of beef in a meat locker and runs through the Italian Market. To Bill Conti's Gonna Fly Now, he climbs the 72 steps of the city's art museum and raises his arms at the top. Rocky was one of the first films to use the Steadicam.

A bronze statue of Rocky was made for Rocky III in 1982 and now stands near the bottom of the steps. Visitors from around the world run up the stairs and pose with their arms in the air, recreating the scene.
