About the film
Set on a fictional night in 1964, the film follows Cassius Clay (Eli Goree, Race) to Miami’s Hampton House Motel as he celebrates the boxing match that won him the title of Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. There, he meets three friends: Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir, Bob Marley: One Love), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr., Hamilton), and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge, Leverage), and the discussion turns to the civil rights movement and the cultural upheaval of the '60s.
