Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, this gripping drama reveals the bond that formed between Malcolm X, the fiery orator and activist, and Muhammad Ali, the brash young boxing champion.

Malcolm, driven by an unyielding commitment to uplift the African American community, becomes a mentor to Ali, igniting a powerful friendship rooted in shared ideals of resistance against oppression.
