The story
Fresh from winning Olympic gold in Rome in 1960, young boxer Cassius Clay returns home to Louisville and sets his sights on the world heavyweight championship. As he turns professional, he has to deal with sudden fame, self-doubt and the pressures of a segregated America, on the road to becoming the fighter the world would come to know as Muhammad Ali, with his family and trainers alongside him.
Spoiler-free: only the set-up.
Who it suits
For sports-drama fans and anyone interested in Ali's life, much as *Bhaag Milkha Bhaag* draws viewers to Milkha Singh's. No Indian age rating could be confirmed; expect boxing violence and depictions of period racism, so it suits teens and adults.
