Set against the backdrop of post-assassination America, the heavyweight championship fight between Charles Liston and Cassius Clay Jr. explores the complexities of fame and morality in boxing. Liston, a mob-associated fighter with a criminal history, faces Clay, who is rumored to be involved with the Nation of Islam. The narrative challenges the traditional hero-villain dichotomy, presenting both men as flawed characters navigating their tumultuous lives in a charged social and political climate.
