The full story behind the acclaimed film directed by Bennett Miller (Moneyball, Capote), and starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo.

Foxcatcher is a riveting true story of madmen, money, and murder.

The Foxcatcher estate, Pennsylvania, January 1996. Dave Schultz, Olympic gold medallist and wrestling golden boy, is shot in the back by billionaire John du Pont. After a two day siege at the ranch du Pont is finally captured.

It wasn't supposed to end that way. Du Pont had lured to his ranch America's top wrestlers, the brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, with the dream of building a world-class team. But as he grew paranoid and controlling, the brothers realised they were trapped.

No one knows the inside story of Foxcatcher better than Mark Schultz. This book is a searing portrait of the relationship he and his brother had with du Pont, whose catastrophic break from reality led to tragedy.

Industry Reviews

Foxcatcher is something dark and delirious, yet rigidly controlled: a film to be considered alongside The Social Network and The Master as a swirling, smoke-black parable of modern America * Telegraph *
Bennett Miller's sports movie Foxcatcher - based on a grisly true story - is a superb tragicomedy of the beta-male. It is a gripping film which gets you in a hold and won't let go * Guardian *
A great, insidiously gripping psychological drama... the sole credible awards-season heavyweight to have emerged from this year's Cannes * Variety *
