From the Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting (1997) to Dogma (1999) and The Last Duel (2021), best buddies and long-time collaborators Ben Affleck and Matt Damon team up once again in Air, a biographical sports drama based on true events about the origin of one of the most famous sneakers, the Nike Air Jordan.
Directed by Affleck, his first film as director since 2016, Air is also the first production for Affleck and Damon's production company Artists Equity. After showing in select cinemas, the film is now on Prime Video. The movie follows Nike's basketball talent scout Sonny Vaccaro (Damon) as he attempts to save Nike's failing basketball division in 1984 by signing rookie Michael Jordan, who he believes will be the greatest player of all time. Unless you've been living under a rock, you must know this basketball legend and his iconic pair of sneakers, the ones that made Nike one of the most successful sneaker brands today.
