King Richard

Based on a true story, the journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately deliver two of the world's greatest sports legends, Venus and Serena Williams.

Armed with a clear vision and a brazen 78-page plan, Richard Williams is determined to write his daughters, Venus and Serena, into history. Training rain or shine on Compton, California's neglected tennis courts, the girls are shaped by their father's unyielding commitment and their mother's balanced perspective and keen intuition, defying the seemingly insurmountable odds and expectations laid before them.

Based on a true story, the film follows the journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately deliver two of the world's greatest sports legends.
