In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement, the 1973 tennis match between women's world champion Billie Jean King and ex-men's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Enraging and then vindicating submitted by ferielp on August 30, 2018, 3:27pm The sheer arrogance of him to think that washed-up, out of practice and old as he was, he could beat a woman in her prime. Logically it was just no contest, and yet the nation was full of men who believed he was just a superior athlete by virtue of him being male.

funny and heart-warming submitted by yufamily on July 26, 2019, 9:57pm Emma is fantastic.

Battle of the sexes submitted by Varshini on August 21, 2019, 9:57pm This movie wasn't what I was expecting it to be. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I'd rate Battle of The Sexes 3/5 stars.
