Battle of the Sexes

Komediedrama med Emma Stone og Steve Carell der bygger på den utrolige og sande historie om tenniskampen mellem den daværende kvindelige verdensmester, Billie Jean King (Emma Stone), og mændenes tidligere verdensmester og notoriske seriesvindler, Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). Filmen handler om meget mere end bare tennis. Filmen er instrueret af makkerparret bag ’Little Miss Sunshine’ og udover Emma Stone og Steve Carell medvirker Bill Pullman, Elisabeth Shue og Sarah Silverman. Omdrejningspunktet for filmen er tenniskampen i ´73 som også blev kaldt ”KØNNENES KAMP”. Kampen var voldsomt hypet, og opnåede 90 millioner seere verden over. Den markerede et kulturelt vendepunkt, der gav genlyd langt ud over tennisbanen og kickstartede diskussioner i soveværelser og bestyrelseslokaler, som har forplantet sig til vor tid.

Battle of the Sexes

Emma Stone (The Help, La La Land) and Steve Carell (Evan Almighty, Date Night) both earned Golden Globe nominations for their work in this sports film. The plot is based on a 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Robert Larimore Riggs. It all begins when King and Heldman (Sarah Silverman) confront the legendary ex-tennis player and TV commentator Jack Kramer (Bill Pullman) because of his announcement that the top prize for women will be only one-eight of the men’s prize, saying that women are worse tennis players than men. At the same time Riggs, age 55, with complicated marriage and troubled financial situation, challenges the top woman tennis player. He is convinced that even at this age he can beat any woman. What happens next is history.
