Based on the true story that will inspire the world, KING RICHARD follows the journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately delivers two of the world’s greatest sports legends.
Reinaldo Marcus Green directs this story that shows the power of family, and achieving the impossible. KING RICHARD also stars Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, Jon Bernthal, and Tony Goldwyn.
