"Air - The Big Throw": A captivating journey into the genesis of Nike.
Director Ben Affleck takes us on an exciting journey back to 1984, when Nike was not yet the epitome of sports and sportswear, but faced major challenges. In "Air - The Big One," we learn how Nike became the success we know today thanks to shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro and his leadership in pursuing the greatest athlete in the history of basketball, Michael Jordan.
The film begins with Nike's basketball shoe division struggling with low sales. As a result, marketing vice president Rob Strasser (played by Matt Damon) and CEO Phil Knight (played by Jason Bateman) are doing everything they can to find a new brand ambassador for their shoes. This is where Sonny Vaccaro (played by Ben Affleck), a basketball talent scout, comes in.
Vaccaro, who previously knew Adidas and Converse as Michael Jordan's preferred brands, convinces Strasser and Knight that Jordan is an exceptional talent and that Nike should definitely recruit him as an advertiser. Although Jordan initially appears to be out of reach, Vaccaro manages to convince the decision-makers to approach Jordan and recruit him for Nike.
"Air - Der große Wurf" is not only an exciting drama about the genesis of a global sports company, but also a tribute to the unforgettable Michael Jordan. The cast delivers impressive performances, most notably Matt Damon, who perfectly captures the complexity and enthusiasm of Rob Strasser.
Ben Affleck's direction is solid and authentically captures the atmosphere of the '80s. The script by Alex Convery offers an engaging plot and allows the audience to immerse themselves in the world of the sports industry.
Another highlight of the film is the soundtrack, which perfectly captures the nostalgic flair of the 80s with hits like "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits.
"Air - The Big Throw" is a film that will not only delight sports fans, but also offers insights into the business world and the power of persuasion. It's an inspiring story of how a company became a global brand by finding and leveraging exceptional talent.
For fans of Michael Jordan, sports history and gripping dramas, "Air - The Big Throw" is a must-see. Immerse yourself in the world of basketball and experience the rise of Nike in your home theater.

"A shoe is just a shoe until somebody steps into it. Then it has meaning. The rest of us just want a chance to touch that greatness. We need you in these shoes not so you have meaning in your life, but so that we have meaning in ours. Everyone at this table will be forgotten as soon as our time here is up, except for you. You're gonna be remembered forever, because some things are eternal. You're Michael Jordan, and your story is gonna make us want to fly. "
