About this movie

It was a match made in heaven: she was the darling of American tennis, an outspoken activist against sexism in sport and society; he was the charismatic, fast-talking, hustling chauvinist showman. Yet the unlikely "courtship" of Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, in the midst of a social revolution, captured the imaginations of people around the world, helping to empower a generation that changed women's sport forever. 2013 © 2013 NEW BLACK FILMS LTD.
