About

Air is a 2023 American biographical sports comedy-drama film In 1984, Oregon-based Nike, Inc. is on the verge of shutting its basketball shoe division down due to low sales. In response to this, Marketing VP Rob Strasser, along with co-founder and CEO Phil Knight, task Nike's basketball talent scout Sonny Vaccaro to come up with a new spokesperson for Nike basketball shoes. While considering the basketball players chosen in the 1984 NBA draft, Nike's executives think third pick Michael Jordan is off limits, being both a fan of Adidas and too expensive for the basketball division's meager budget. However, once Vaccaro watches Jordan's highlights in conjunction with an Arthur Ashe commercial for his Head rackets, Vaccaro becomes convinced that Nike should pursue who he considers a generational talent, with both brand and athlete building off each other. Following dinner with his friend George Raveling, who coached Jordan in the Olympic tournament, and asking for his support in courting Matt Damon as Sonny Vaccaro Ben Affleck as Phil Knight Jason Bateman as Rob Strasser Chris Messina as David Falk Matthew Maher as Peter Moore Marlon Wayans as George Raveling Jay Mohr as John Fisher Julius Tennon as James Jordan Chris Tucker as Howard White Viola Davis as Deloris Jordan Dan Bucatinsky as Richard Gustaf Skarsgård as Horst Dassler Jessica Green as Katrina Sainz
