Battle of the Sexes
“He made a bet. She made history.”
Director
Valerie Faris
Screenplay
Simon Beaufoy
1973. Billie Jean King reigns over women's tennis while waging another battle off the court: the fight for equal pay and respect in a sport dominated by men. When the boastful former champion Bobby Riggs, a fifty-five-year-old showman and compulsive gambler, challenges her to a match to prove men's supposed superiority, the duel becomes a media phenomenon followed by millions. Meanwhile, King also confronts the awakening of her own identity. Based on true events, the film is a vibrant drama about sexism, courage and a match that was about far more than tennis.
