In 1964, a brash, new pro boxer, fresh from his Olympic gold medal victory, explodes onto the scene: Cassius Clay. Bold and outspoken, he cuts an entirely new image for African Americans in sport with his proud public self-confidence and his unapologetic belief that he is the greatest boxer of all time. Yet at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test.

Ali Ratings & Reviews

  • Ned PeyrouxNovember 16, 2025
    I cannot stand competitive sports, least of all violent ones like pugilism, yet when I finally consented to watch this film decades after it was released, I was surprised at how great it was, absolutely moving.
