About this movie

Superstar Will Smith gives the performance of his career as boxing legend Muhammad Ali in a visually amazing epic drama from Academy Award® nominated director Michael Mann. Muhammad Ali thrilled the world with his ground-breaking boxing victories in the '60s and '70s. 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 Cosell (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 he knows the best: himself.

Ratings and reviews

The egotistic prick doesnt even look like him

NOT THE DIRECTORS CUT. This is actually 5 minutes SHORTER than the original version that is also available on google play.

This is actually "Commemorative Edition" from 2016/2017, not the "Director's Cut" version from 2004. There is very light differences with original version such as deletion of one fight and added scenes and footage focusing on the political side of Ali's life.
