"Rocky Balboa" was released in which year?

"Rocky Balboa" was released in 2006.

The film is the sixth installment in the Rocky film series and was written and directed by Sylvester Stallone, who again played Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa. It opened in the United States on December 20, 2006, more than 30 years after the original "Rocky" introduced the character in 1976.

The story presents Rocky as a retired champion running a small restaurant named Adrian's, after his wife has died. When a computer simulation suggests that Rocky could defeat the current heavyweight champion, Mason "The Line" Dixon, Rocky decides to return to the ring for one final exhibition fight. The film focuses less on championship ambition than on grief, aging, and the need to keep moving forward.

The movie is sometimes confused with "Rocky V," released in 1990, because both films deal with Rocky's life after his championship years. "Rocky Balboa" instead functions as a later continuation and was followed by the spin-off "Creed" in 2015. Stallone's performance earned the film a reputation as a more reflective revival of the franchise.
