In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement| the 1973 tennis match between women's world champion Billie Jean
King (Emma Stone) and ex-men's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve
Carell) was billed as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time| reaching 90 million viewers around the
world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear| off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. The fiercely private King was not
only championing for equality| but also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality| as her friendship with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea
Riseborough) developed. And Riggs| one of the first self-made media-age celebrities| wrestled with his gambling demons| at the expense of his family and wife
Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue). Together| Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court|
sparking discussions in bedrooms ...
Battle of the Sexes turns real-life events into a crowd-pleasing, well-acted dramedy that ably entertains while smartly serving up a volley of present-day parallels.
