The latest film by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the Oscar-winning "Little Miss". The legendary 1973 tennis match between world leader Billie Jean King (Emma Stone's Oscar winner) and boldly self-assured former Bobby Riggs (Oscar nominee Steve Carrell), known as the "War of Gender," became the most watched sports event in television history. While the media created King and Riggs on fierce opponents, apart from the courts, each of them faced complex adversity. King had a loving husband at her side who encouraged her to fight for equal rights for both sexes, but she struggled with the truth about her sexuality. Riggs risked everything, putting all his reputation on the table to show the world that he could afford a triumphant return. Together they gave a show, whose effects went far beyond the arena of sports competitions, and the consequences continue to this day. In other roles: Oscar nominee Elisabeth Shue, Alan Cumming, Andrea Riseborough and Bill Pullman.
