Full Plot Details

In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement, the 1973 tennis match between women's world champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-men's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. The fiercely private King was not only championing for equality, but also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, as her friendship with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough) developed. And Riggs, one of the first self-made media-age celebrities, wrestled with his gambling demons, at the expense of his family and wife Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue). Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court, sparking discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that continue to reverberate today.

Movie Reviews

Film Inquiry - 10/10 by Lee JuttonThe most powerful - and also the most depressing - thing about Battle of the Sexes is how relevant King's struggle still is today.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleAll this is dramatized expertly and with a lightness of touch in Simon Beaufoy’s screenplay and in the direction of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the team behind “Little Miss Sunshine.”
Cinemalogue.com - 10/10 by Todd Jorgenson... conveys both the absurd spectacle and underlying high stakes in its true-life tale, while staging the climactic on-court action with crowd-pleasing flair.
Deadline Hollywood Daily - 10/10 by Pete HammondEmma Stone and Steve Carell are matchless and at the top of their game in a film that goes places that just might surprise you. A superb trip back to the notorious tennis duel between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.
InStyle - 10/10 by Glynis CostinBattle of the Sexes is an entertaining, fun, sometimes touching, and sometimes enlightening look at the world of tennis, the struggles of sexual identity, and the sexism of the time.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 10/10 by Calvin WilsonThis is mainstream filmmaking at the top of its game.
New England Movies Weekly - 10/10 by Daniel M. KimmelThe battle for equality may not be over, but Battle of the Sexes reminds us-in the slogan of the women's tour sponsor-we've come a long way, baby.
Salt Lake Tribune - 10/10 by Sean P. MeansThe joyous movie Battle of the Sexes covers every inch of the court -- as an inspirational sports drama, as a riotous comedy, as a tender romance and as an insightful biography of King and her pivotal role in the fight for women's equality.
Newsday - 10/10 by Rafer GuzmanA winning combination of sports movie and civil rights story, with ace performances from Stone and Carell.
Pajiba - 10/10 by Rebecca PahleDoes Battle of the Sexes break new ground in terms of cinematic form? No. But it's an exceedingly well-done film...
