One Night in Miami . . . is the powerful feature directorial debut of Academy Award–winning actor Regina King. Adapted by Kemp Powers from his acclaimed stage play, the film imagines an extraordinary meeting between four towering figures of Black American culture— Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke—on the night of Ali’s legendary 1964 victory over Sonny Liston.
Inside a modest Miami motel room, these icons carouse, debate, support, and challenge one another as they confront their influence and responsibility during the civil rights movement. Electric with bold ideas and emotional depth, One Night in Miami . . . provides an intimate look at a pivotal moment in American history and the ongoing struggle for justice and personal conviction.
