Ever wondered what makes a legend truly unforgettable? It's the collision of triumph and tribulation, the unwavering defiance in the face of adversity, and the sheer force of personality that transcends the boundaries of sport. These elements converge in the story of Muhammad Ali, a narrative brought to life in the 2001 biopic, "Ali," starring Will Smith.

Michael Manns "Ali" isn't just a sports movie; it's a portrait of a man grappling with his identity, his faith, and his place in a nation undergoing seismic shifts. The film zeroes in on a pivotal decade in Ali's life, from 1964 to 1974. We witness Cassius Clay's ascent to the world heavyweight championship, his conversion to Islam and subsequent name change to Muhammad Ali, his friendship with Malcolm X, and his controversial refusal to be drafted into the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. This act of defiance led to a three-year ban from boxing, a period fraught with legal battles and personal sacrifices, culminating in his triumphant return to the ring and the iconic "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman in 1974.
