Fun Facts: If the fact that the film was distributed by Amazon Studios didn’t tip you off, it was originally going to go straight to Amazon Prime, but was released to theaters, thanks to the test screening.

The designer of Air Jordan, Peter Moore died one year before the film was released and 3 weeks before the filming started.

While the screenplay was written by Alex Convery, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck rewrote stuff in the script.

The Michael Jordan in the film barely show his face in the movie because Ben Affleck believed that nobody could play him well.

Summary: In 1984, a worker at a struggling shoe company, Nike, takes a big gamble by creating a shoeline that involves Michael Jordan.

The One Liner Review: The way Ben Affleck made Air was a slam dunk, the way other biographical films should be, and in the end, it became 2023’s first Overflowing worthy film.
