The electrifying true story of the 1973 tennis match between women's champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and former men's champ Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). As fierce rivals on opposite sides of the court and the gender equality issue, Billie Jean and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the sporting world. Filled with heart, humour and biting wit, Battle of the Sexes is a triumphant celebration of the historic contest that changed the game! (20th Century Fox AU)
