Battle of the Sexes

“He made a bet. She made history.”

In 1973, Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) is the top-ranked woman in tennis and fighting the sport's governing body over how little the women's game pays. Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell), a former champion and compulsive hustler, sees an opening and challenges her to a match, which Dayton and Faris stage in grainy, sun-faded 70s color. The whole sport is watching, and she has her tour, her place in the game and her private life riding on a single afternoon.
