Kicking off our 2022 season with a true story that will inspire the world, King Richard follows the journey of Richard Williams, an undeterred father instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time, who will end up changing the sport of tennis forever. Two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith (Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness) is outright brilliant as Richard, in a performance that promises Oscar talk.

Driven by a clear vision of their future and using unconventional methods, Richard has a plan that will take Venus and Serena Williams from the streets of Compton, California to the global stage as legendary icons. This profoundly moving film shows the power of family, perseverance and unwavering belief as a means to achieve the impossible and impact the world.

Reviews:

“A TOWERING TURN FROM WILL SMITH, HIS BEST SINCE ALI AND ONE OF THE YEAR'S GREAT SCREEN PERFORMANCES, DEFINES NEARLY EVERY FRAME OF THIS FILM.” – TIMES (UK)

“KING RICHARD IS PERFECTLY TIMED; HIS PERFORMANCE IS A STERLING REMINDER OF SMITH'S SINGULAR CHARGE, SEIZING UPON A MIGHTY CHALLENGE WITH THRILLING RECOMMITMENT.” – VANITY FAIR
