### Summary

Cassius Clay (Will Smith) rises to national celebrity after winning the Heavyweight Championship in 1964. Over the next ten years, Clay stays in the public spotlight for both his sporting and personal life. He changes his name to Cassius X and then to Muhammad Ali based on his involvement with Malcolm X (Mario Van Peebles). He refuses to serve in Vietnam when drafted and is banned from fighting in the US as a result. Ali’s marriages to Sonji (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Belinda Ali (Nona Gaye) suffer the stress of continual public controversy. Ali seeks matches outside the US, including the famous “Rumble in the Jungle” in Tanzania. Throughout his career, Ali is supported by friend Drew “Bundini” Brown (Jamie Foxx) and sportscaster Howard Cosell (Jon Voight).
