Award-Winning Memoir Tenacity Heads to the Big Screen.

BRIDGEPORT, WV — Cameras are ready to roll as Tenacity, the highly anticipated film based on Ron Coury’s award-winning memoir, officially begins production in November 2025. The biographical drama will start filming in Bridgeport, West Virginia, before heading west to Las Vegas, Nevada, where much of Coury’s real-life journey unfolded.

Tenacity tells the remarkable true story of Ron Coury, a Brooklyn-born U.S. Marine who built a business empire in Las Vegas, facing down political corruption, false criminal accusations, and even cancer along the way. From owning over 20 businesses to going toe-to-toe with crooked officials and surviving a devastating diagnosis, Coury’s life is a testament to courage, conviction, and uncompromising ethics.

“This is not just a story about business it’s about resilience, grit, and what it means to do the right thing in a world that constantly tempts you not to,” said the film’s producer. “Ron Coury’s life is tailor-made for cinema, and we’re honored to bring his powerful journey to the screen.”

With a tone described as inspiring, gritty, and thrilling, the film will blend courtroom drama, high-stakes business deals, and real-life danger, all set against the backdrop of 1970s and ’80s Las Vegas.

Coury’s memoir, Tenacity, has been celebrated for its candid storytelling, humor, and powerful message of perseverance. Now, that story is heading to theaters and streaming platforms, with casting announcements expected soon.
