In 1984, Nike was scuffling with a third-place market share for its sneakers, and CEO Phil Knight (Ben Affleck, who directed) tasked marketer Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) with finding a spokesperson that could turn things around. His bet on just-drafted college star Michael Jordan as a generational talent--and efforts to outdo the competition in wooing him--are tellingly recounted in this sports commerce saga. Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Marlon Wayans, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker also star. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
