AIR

Director: Ben Affleck
Starring: Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Ben Affleck, Marlon Wayans, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker

From Good Will Hunting to movies with Kevin Smith and Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are a dream team together. Their new film Air takes you back to the creation of the Air Jordan shoe. Damon leads the ensemble film as Sonny Vaccara, an NBA scout who works for Nike. Their basketball division needs to score big to keep up with the competition at Adidas and Converse. Sonny works under Rob Strasser (Bateman) and their team is looking at young, hotshot basketball players to be the face of their shoes. Sonny knows up and coming basketball player Michael Jordan is the perfect choice for Nike, but he’s far more expensive than co-founder Phil Knight is willing spend as the face of their new campaign. Ben Affleck also stars in the film as Phil Knight. Sonny goes all-in fighting every step of the way to get Jordan going so far as to dealing with Jordan’s parents Deloris and James, played by real-life couple Viola Davis and Julius Tennon.
