1987 iroc z sitting for over a year- brakes are stiff

Got the car up and running, but the brakes are really stiff. Barely any movement in the pedal. Is this just cause it sat for so long? Is there something I can do to fix the situation?
thanks
Chris

Booster may have failed. Check its vacuum line first.
