One Night in Miami (2020), directed by Regina King and written by Kemp Powers, is based on Powers’ stage play.
Set on one extraordinary night in 1964, it imagines the meeting of four cultural icons—Cassius Clay (soon to be Muhammad Ali), Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown—following Clay’s upset victory over Sonny Liston. The film explores their conversations on racial injustice, religion, and responsibility, reflecting the struggles and influence they held during the civil rights era, with themes that remain powerful decades later.
