Few companies have shaped American society quite like Nike. Through the lens of Sonny Vacarro, played by Matt Damon, director Ben Affleck will tell the story of how the American apparel company connected with Michael Jordan, designed the world’s most famous basketball shoe and changed the direction of sports and fashion. It’s called AIR. Along the way, Affleck and Damon will call on an all-star cast that includes Viola Davis, Marlon Wayans and Chris Tucker to help paint the picture of this improbable success story.
“Matt and I are very excited for audiences to see AIR and proud that it’s the first release from Artists Equity. The movie was an extraordinary experience where we had the honor of working with some of the best cast and crew in the business, all of whom brought passion, persistence and creativity to a collective effort at re-creating a remarkable and aspirational story,” Affleck said about the film.
“Ben, Matt and this all-star cast have delivered a fantastic film that will move, inspire and entertain audiences around the globe. With Ben’s incredible direction, the film delivers a nostalgic look back at a culture-defining moment that absolutely lends itself to a global theatrical event,” Jennifer Salke of Amazon added.
Check out the trailer below before AIR arrives in theaters on April 5, 2023.
