As planned, Damon plays Vaccaro and Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight, and the film follows Nike’s efforts to sign rising superstar basketball player Michael Jordan to the then No. 3 shoe company in the mid-1980s The film follows Nike’s long-term efforts to sign rising superstar basketball player Michael Jordan to the No. 3 shoe company in the mid-1980s.
At the heart of the film is Vaccaro’s relentless quest to sign Jordan, who will have access to a number of the latter’s sidekicks, and the character of Jordan will not appear in the film.
In the 1980s, signing athletes for brand endorsements was a no-brainer. But thanks to Vaccaro’s efforts, it not only became a reality, but also launched a multi-billion dollar contemporary athletic shoe industry worldwide.
At present, there is no specific shooting and release plan for the film.
