One Night in Miami” is one of those dramas with a hooky, irresistible meeting-of-the-minds premise that places four legends in a single room, all so that we can sit back and watch the verbal-philosophical fireworks fly. The movie takes place on Feb. 25, 1964, the night that Cassius Clay, at 22, won the world heavyweight championship by defeating Sonny Liston in a title bout at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

2. We watched this movie last night..

and I was still lying awake at 2am thinking about it. Might be the best movie I’ve ever seen in terms of emotional impact. The actors were incredible. There were moments when they had their characters down so well that almost I swore it was the real person, not an actor. I can’t recommend this movie highly enough.

so-so review I read. It's a great story of wide interest, all legends in a very important, special era.
