2001’s Ali is a biographical movie about legendary heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali. Will Smithplayed the titular role and was ably supported by the likes of Jamie Foxx as Ali’s cornerman Drew Bundini Brown and John Voight as sports journalist Howard Cosell.

The movie was received well by critics and was one of the first in which Will Smith became taken truly seriously as an actor. It earned two Academy Award nominations – one for Smith’s leading man performance – without winning. However, having cost $107 million to make – and with marketing costs on top of that – it only made $87.7 million at the worldwide box office.
