We also learn about the music and cultural events that were a part of the fight, such as the famous “Rumble in the Jungle” concert featuring James Brown and The Spinners.
The film then takes us to the fight itself, where we get to witness the drama and excitement of the event. We see Ali’s strategy and tactics as he outmaneuvers Foreman to earn a stunning victory. The film also explores the aftermath of the fight, and the impact it had on the lives of both men.
