The electrifying 1973 tennis match between World number one Billie Jean
King (Emma Stone) and ex-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. The match caught the
zeitgeist and sparked a global conversation on gender equality, spurring
on the feminist movement. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs
were on opposite sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was
fighting more personal and complex battles. With a supportive husband
urging her to fight the Establishment for equal pay, the fiercely
private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own
sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to
relive the glories of his past. Together, Billie and Bobby served up a
cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and
animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and
boardrooms around the world.
