In Production: Dream Big – The Olympia Movie

An In-Depth Look At The 60 Year History Of The Mr. Olympia Competition

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Mr. Olympia competition, production has begun on a landmark feature documentary that will take audiences deep inside the most prestigious event in the world of bodybuilding and fitness. Set for worldwide release early next year, Dream Big: The Olympia Movie will capture the passion, history, 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.

From its humble beginnings as a bodybuilding contest six decades ago, the Olympia has evolved into a global movement — drawing millions of fans, uniting cultures, and serving as a multi-billion dollar commerce hub for the fitness, nutrition, and performance industries.

Helmed by acclaimed director Vlad Yudin (Generation Iron), the film will offer unprecedented access behind the scenes — following the Olympia production team through the months of preparation that culminate in the electrifying spectacle at Resorts World Las Vegas, 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 athletes, fans, and industry leaders who make the Olympia a phenomenon, Dream Big will explore the emotion, dedication, and ambition that fuel this extraordinary event.

As Yudin explains:

“The popularity of the Olympia transcends politics and cultural divides. 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 extraordinary and complex world of inspiration, competition, and entertainment.”

Dream Big: The Olympia Movie is more than a documentary — it’s a front-row seat to the legacy, energy, and dream that continues to inspire generations around the globe.

Production: The Documentary is currently in Production and will be completed in 2025.  For more information about the project please email us at: info@generationiron.com
