Set in 1984, this sports drama follows Nike talent scout Sonny Vaccaro as he bets his career on signing rookie basketball phenomenon Michael Jordan to a risky shoe deal. With the company’s basketball division struggling, Sonny pushes skeptical executives to build an entire sneaker line around a player who has never logged an NBA minute, hoping to create something called Air Jordan. The story mixes boardroom tension, sharp dialogue, and offbeat humor, capturing the pressure, ambition, and unlikely creativity behind a deal that reshapes the culture of sports and business.
