Variety hailed the movie as “this Generation’s ‘Jerry Maguire’” while Indiewire described it as “ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made.”
Based on the official synopsis provided by Warner Bros. Pictures, the movie tells the story of the “unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then-rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division, which revolutionized the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand.”
According to Affleck, “Air” is a movie “that is made to inspire people, to make them feel good in a way that Michael Jordan is inspiring to the world.”
