By the end of the movie and the boxing match between Rocky and Drago, Rocky is beginning to make a lead on Drago and he has a realization that Drago isn't just a machine as everyone calls him, he's actually a man who can be beaten and hurt. This is symbolic towards the fact that nearing the end of the Cold War, Reagan began to realize that the Soviets were people too and in order to make peace, they needed to be treated like people and not enemies.

"You Cut him! You HURT him! You see. You see. He's not a Machine, He's a Man!" - Duke

Once Rocky victoriously defeats Drago he makes a speech in which he mentions how he saw the Soviet crowd's opinion of him change as he began to take down Drago. He said his opinion changed towards them as well and it wasn't that difficult. This emphasizes the peace that is key in ending the Cold War and finally bringing everyone together under a cloud of unity and acceptance.

"If I can change and you can change, everybody can change." - Rocky Balboa

It is evident very early on in the movie that Ivan Drago is to represent the USSR and that Rocky Balboa is to represent the U.S. Their boxing match and conflicts directly reflect the tension between these two powers during the Cold War. Drago is depicted as cold, fierce and unemotional as is a stereotype of the Soviets during this time. Rocky is depicted as patriotic and brave which this being an American movie, is probably how Americans wanted themselves to be seen.

"If he dies...he dies." - Ivan Drago

“To Beat Me, He’s Gonna Have To Kill Me.” - Rocky Balboa

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or the INF Treaty, was a treaty decided upon by the two powers in order to settle for peace. Signed on December 8, 1987, its purpose was arms control and it ended up banning the use and production of land-based ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and missile launchers. This treaty was so important because it finally eliminated the forces that proved to be such a threat to both sides.

After 1983, Reagan began to realize that his stance needed to change and that he had made a mistake. As a result,  he ultimately decided he needed to meet with the Gorbachev in person in order to turn the tide of the war. He wanted to make peace and put an end to the conflict.

At this meeting in Geneva Reagan said...
"The United States and the Soviet Union are the two greatest countries on Earth, the superpowers. They are the only ones who can start World War 3, but also the only two countries that could bring peace to the world."

The U.S. also feared Russia's influence of communism and sought to contain the idea and prevent communism from spreading. This war was especially notable with the introduction of nuclear weapons which resulted in an arms race where both powers rushed to prove their superiority.
