The film boasts an exceptional performance by Will Smith in the lead role as Muhammad Ali, formerly known as Cassius Clay, and is complemented by a powerful portrayal of Drew 'Bundini' Brown by Jamie Foxx.

The movie is primarily set in the pivotal year of 1964 when a bold and brash 22-year-old professional boxer, Cassius Clay, emerges onto the scene with unapologetic confidence and an infectious spirit. Fresh from his Olympic gold medal victory, Clay immediately makes his presence known as he dares to defy societal norms and break free from the stereotypical image of African Americans in sports. With a masterful blend of swagger and charisma, Clay declares himself the greatest boxer of all time, forever redefining the role of race, religion, and politics in the world of sports.

His conversion to Islam, subsequently changing his name to Muhammad Ali, ignites controversy and challenges the status quo. Meanwhile, his romantic entanglements add further complexity to his life, as he navigates relationships, love, and heartache. Ali's refusal to serve in the Vietnam War due to his religious beliefs leads to a bitter legal battle that soon threatens his boxing career and upends his entire world. In the face of these mounting pressures, the audience is left in anticipation, wondering if Ali will emerge victorious or succumb to the overwhelming forces set against him.
