Superstar Will Smith gives the performance of his career as boxing legend Muhammad Ali in a visually amazing epic of a drama from Academy Award® nominated director Michael Mann. Muhammad Ali thrilled the world with his ground- breaking boxing victories in the 60's and 70's. But the man behind the legend is grappling with a tumultuous romantic life, his deeply held religious beliefs and the pressures of staying on top. A quick witted winning personality and strong friendships with close associates, including renowned newscaster Howard Costell (Golden Globe® nominee Jon Voight) help Ali "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee". But faced with a life-changing conflict outside of the ring, the famously opinionated boxer is forced to rely on the one person that he knows best: himself.©2004 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.
