Based on the true story of the Williams family and the father that helped make them tennis superstars.
“King Richard” follows the journey of Richard Williams, an undeterred father instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time, Venus and Serena Williams. Driven by a clear vision of their future, and using unconventional methods, Richard has a plan that will take Venus and Serena Williams from the streets of Compton, California to the global stage as legendary icons. As they grow up, he stops at nothing to get them to the top, despite all odds being against him.
The profoundly moving film, that follows the girls into their teens, shows the power of family, perseverance, and unwavering belief to achieve the impossible and change the sport of tennis forever.
