Based on Muhammad Ali's (Will Smith) life from 1964 to 1974.
In 1964 Ali won the heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston
(Michael Bent), only to have it taken away from him years later
when he refused to join the Army during the Vietnam War. In 1974
Ali capped off a heroic comeback by winning the heavyweight crown
for a 2nd time by defeating George Foreman during "The Rumble
in the Jungle" in Zaire.
