Ali
Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
Directed by Michael Mann
Produced by Columbia Pictures, Initial Entertainment Group
A celebratory yet conflicted biographical portrait of Muhammad Ali's rise and the personal costs of his bold defiance, balancing admiration with the weight of his struggles.
In 1964, a brash, new pro boxer, fresh from his Olympic gold medal victory, explodes onto the scene: Cassius Clay. Bold and outspoken, he cuts an entirely new image for African Americans in sport with his proud public self-confidence and his unapologetic belief that he is the greatest boxer of all time. Yet at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test.
