It's loosely based on 1984 Olympic gold medalist and two time world champion US wrestler Mark Schultz's autobiographical memoir,"Foxcatcher: The True Story of My Brother's Murder, John du Pont's Madness, and the Quest for Olympic Gold". The film's plot revolves around multimillionaire E.I. du Pont family heir and wrestling enthusiast John E. du Pont's recruitment of Schultz and his older brother, Dave, also a 1984 Olympic gold medalist, to help coach US wrestlers for participation in National, World, and Olympic competition, and the tragic events that followed.
