Starring Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Jon Voight
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) goes from motormouthed upstart to heavyweight champion to 1960s political lightning rod in Michael Mann’s epic, thrillingly kinetic biopic, which masterfully subverts the conventions of the genre through the director’s pure-cinema approach. Anchored by Will Smith’s mighty, Oscar-nominated performance, ALI emerges as a propulsive portrait of both a transformative cultural icon and the era he defined, featuring some of the most visceral boxing scenes ever put on film.
