When We Were Kings (1996)

It's 1974. Muhammad Ali is 32 and thought by many to be past his prime. George Foreman is ten years younger and the heavyweight champion of the world. Promoter Don King wants to make a name for himself and offers both fighters five million dollars apiece to fight one another, and when they accept, King has only to come up with the money. He finds a willing backer in Mobutu Sese Suko, the dictator of Zaire, and the "Rumble in the Jungle" is set, including a musical festival featuring some of America's top black performers, like James Brown and B.B. King.

Legendary documentary about a legendary fight

Michael W 01 Jul 2007

My favorite documentary. Everyone, even people without a passing interest in boxing OR Ali, will be amazing by this movie. The editing tells an amazing story that encapsulates much more then just the boxing match that brought everyone to Zaire in 1974. Nearly a music doc as well, it includes performances and very candid interviews with B.B. King, James Brown, The Crusaders, The Spinners and many others. Narrated, through interviews, by George Plimpton and Norman Mailer. It took 20 years to be released.

what a moment in history. really... Where are people like him today...?

Stephen C 19 Sep 2010

The Rumble in the Jungle has gone down in history as one of the greatest Boxing bouts in History.# This film tells the story of the events leading up to and during the fight which was a key moment not just in sports History but in black history also. Ali hasd the gift of the gab and in the film he comes across as a very funny and very intelligent man,which makes his decline all the more heart breaking. Foreman was potrayed as a killer who spoke very little and was expected to beat Ali by some margin. On top of the fight we get an ace soul concert featuring BB King and James Brown ,and a corrupt dictator who may have ordered a 100 people killed below the stadium where the fight was staged. The film is packed with great footage and the taliking heads of Norman Mailer and George Plimpton add to the stories interest. These days where boxing seems to be losing its way its refreshing to see a film which reminds you just how popular the sport really was at that time. Spot on
