Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke enter a hotel room … but it’s no joke. In the directorial debut of Regina King, based on the drama of Soul co-director Kemp Powers, the big four meet in the same hotel room in February 1964, celebrating the victory of Muhammad Ali – then a young Cassius Clay – over Sonny Liston. It is a fictional account of a real night, pointing to a crucial moment for each of the four men and in the civil rights movement. Eli Goree, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Aldis Hodge and Leslie Odom Jr. star in the trailer, while the men discuss the weight of the black celebrity. “You brothers could move mountains without lifting a finger,” Malcolm X of Bed-Adir encourages you. Directed by the Oscar and Emmy King winner, Powers himself adapted the script for the screens. The supporting cast includes Beau Bridges, Jeremy Pope, Joaquin Kalukango, Nicolette Robinson and Lance Reddick. One night in miami opens in select cinemas and arrives at Amazon Prime on January 15.
