A deeply passionate look into the world’s most prestigious fitness & bodybuilding experience and its social and economic impact
Generation Iron Network has released the official trailer for Dream Big: The Olympia Movie – a new documentary chronicling the remarkable growth of the prestigious Mr. Olympia event. The new film is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on December 9th, 2025. You can watch the full trailer above.
Filmed during the planning of the 60th anniversary of the Mr. Olympia, Dream Big is a landmark feature documentary that takes audiences deep inside the most prominent event in the world of bodybuilding and fitness. The film captures the passion and cultural impact of Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend — a competition long regarded as the ultimate symbol of achievement in muscle, fitness, and physique transformation.
An All-Access Look Behind the Curtain of Bodybuilding’s Most Celebrated Event
From its humble beginnings as the world championship of bodybuilding six decades ago, the Olympia has evolved into a global movement — drawing millions of fans, uniting cultures, while sitting atop a multi-billion dollar industry, connecting the world of fitness, nutrition, and human performance.
Helmed by acclaimed director Vlad Yudin (Generation Iron), the film will offer unprecedented access behind the scenes — following the Olympia production team through months of preparation that culminate in the electrifying spectacle on the Las Vegas Strip at Resorts World, a $4-billion venue that plays host to the “Super Bowl” of the fitness world.
With exclusive footage, intimate interviews, and an unfiltered look at the contenders, fans, and leaders who make the Olympia a global phenomenon, Dream Big will explore the emotion, dedication, commerce and ambition that fuel what many call a “bucket list” experience.
The film includes appearances by today’s biggest bodybuilding icons, industry executives, and visits with champions Derek Lunsford, Hadi Choopan, Nick Walker, Chris Bumstead, Samson Dauda and many more.
As Yudin explains:
“The popularity of the Olympia transcends politics and cultural divide. For many, it’s life-changing — a bucket list destination, a celebration of personal transformation, and a gathering place for top brands, celebrities, and serious fitness enthusiasts. We can’t wait to take audiences inside this powerful and complex world of inspiration, competition, and entertainment.”
