WHEN BILLIE BEAT BOBBY stars Oscar winner Holly Hunter and Tony Award winner Ron Silver in an engaging look at a seminal event - the 1973 Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean King, one of the best female tennis players in the world, and Bobby Riggs, a Wimbledon champion-turned-hustler. This Alliance Atlantis film chronicles the important and improbable moments leading up to that historic tennis match, but tells two stories of how Billie Jean King transformed the face of professional woman Riggs, and perhaps most significantly, how both their lives were changed - as well as the lives of the fans who cheered them once they agreed to take each other on.
