Borg Vs. McEnroe

Watch Trailer
“It’s a compelling story with much to recommend it: fascinating details about both men, plus an agonizingly close final game that will bring your heart into your throat. – Rafer Guzmán, Newsday

At the historic 1980 Wimbledon Championships, rising American star John McEnroe (Shia LaBeouf ) sets his sights on dethroning reigning champion Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason), sparking an unprecedented media frenzy in the tennis world.

The two legendary tennis icons have polar opposite personas and approaches to the game. McEnroe is infamous for his brash, ferocious energy on the court and his equally spectacular, expletive-fueled tantrums, whereas Borg’s coolly composed, elegant style of play complements his unflappable public demeanor. However, both men are hiding deep anxieties, locked in battle with their inner demons. On the court, each athlete brings his immense talents to bear in one of the most suspenseful events in sports history.
