The biopic follows the life and career of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) also known as ‘The Greatest’. He was the only boxer to become the world’s heavyweight champion three times. He was born in 1942 and was called Cassius Clay. When in 1954 somebody stole his new bike, Ali couldn’t stand up for himself, so he went to a gym to learn how to fight. Ali trained six days a week and was soon really good at running, skipping and, of course, boxing. In 1964 Clay converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The movie depicts his rise and fall in sports and politics, including forfeiture of his boxing license and championship title for his principled refusal to serve in the military during the Vietnam War and his comeback battles against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. |
