The story
In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement, the exhibition match between the world's number 1 in women's tennis, Billie Jean King (Emma Stone), and the ex-tennis champion and notorious gambler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) took place in the USA in 1973 “Battle Of The Sexes” was announced and became the most watched sporting event in television history with 90 million viewers worldwide. While the two rivals prepare for the match amid media hysteria, they have far more complex battles to fight within themselves. An extremely private person, King is not only an advocate for equality, but also struggles with her own sexuality as she finds more than just friendship for her confidant Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough). And Briggs, one of the first self-made celebrities of the media age, struggles with the demon of gambling addiction, which endangers his family life and his relationship with his wife Priscilla. Together, Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs delivered a cultural spectacle that reached far beyond the court, sparking discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that still resonate today.
Win one of three fan packages for the theatrical release of BATTLE OF THE SEXES on November 23rd!
