Here is the plot description for “Warrior”:

Rising stars Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton command the screen as two estranged brothers facing the fight of a lifetime­ in Lionsgate’s “Warrior”: a moving and inspirational action/drama from acclaimed director Gavin O’Connor (“Miracle”).

Haunted by a tragic past, U.S. Marine Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy) returns home for the first time in 14 years to enlist the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to train for Sparta: the biggest winner-takes-all event in mixed martial arts history. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Joel Edgerton) – a teacher who was previously a fighter – returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin.

But when Brendan’s unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that pulled them apart. They face off in the most soaring, soul-stirring and unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed.

A rousing ode to redemption, reconciliation and the power of the human spirit, “Warrior” is also a moving testament to the enduring bonds of family. “Warrior” stars Joel Edgerton (“Animal Kingdom,” “Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith”), Tom Hardy (the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Inception,” “Black Hawk Down”), Jennifer Morrison (“House,” “Star Trek”) and Nick Nolte (“Tropic Thunder,” “The Thin Red Line”).

The film is directed by Gavin O’Connor. The screenplay is by Gavin O’Connor, Anthony Tambakis and Cliff Dorman. The story is by Gavin O’Connor and Cliff Dorfman.

Why choose? a real family would back you up on your search for fame and riches!

Get rich first, and you won't die tryin'

I would choose the fame and riches—because once you have it all, everything else follows.

Warrior's Answer

Fortune tops my family at least.

I would have to say family

I would have to say family because fame and fortune is definitely fleeting when family typically is for a lifetime. I would rather die in the presence of loved ones than in the presence of money.

In a clash of family vs. fame and fortune, which path would you

In any clash involving family, “Family” win every time … hands down … no contest … end of discussion!

Choose

family without once ever thinking about it.

Hmm...family vs. fame/fortune?

As annoying as family can be sometimes, they can help make you happy and whole, whereas fame/fortune cannot. That said, it is still very important to follow your dreams, so if family members are unhealthy and unsupportive, this becomes a much more difficult decision - you come from your family, but where you go is entirely up to you.

The best path...

This is a hard question. It’s easy to just say, “oh, of course I’d choose my family!” but this really, really depends on the situation. If you have a great family, and the path you take may hurt them, or you, then this probably isn’t the direction for you. But, if this path truly is a dream you wouldn’t be you without, you kind of don’t have a choice but to take this route…and hope that your family will support you and understand.

Ultimately, you should always take the most positive steps possible - this may mean something different for different people.

Family

I would have to say family. Fame and fortune can go but a good family never will.
