Alì (2001)
Il film racconta i periodi fondamentali della carriera e della vita privata di Muhammad Ali, campione dei pesi massimi dal '64 al '67 e poi dal '74 al '78. Si parte dal 1964, dal primo incontro con Liston che diede a Clay il titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi. Si prosegue con la conversione all'Islam, con il rifiuto di partire per la guerra del Vietnam, per finire a Kinshasa, nello Zaire, per l'incontro del secolo contro Foreman.
