Air, a sports biopic drama, is the newest collaborative effort between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who both star in the film. Affleck serves as director and co-producer alongside Damon, David Ellison, Jesse Sisgold, Jon Weinbach, Madison Ainley, Jeff Robinov, Peter Guber, and Jason Michael Berman. The film's script was written by Black List winner Alex Convery. Affleck stars as Phil Knight, the head of Nike, while Damon plays shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro who uncovers the key to putting their failing company back on the playing field.

That key comes in the form of then-rookie basketball player Michael Jordan, who was turning heads even in his youth and caught the eye of Vaccaro. Jordan eventually becomes the face of Nike company, which then debuts the most famous athletic shoe line in history: the Air Jordan. The film also stars Jason Bateman as Nike exec Rob Strasser, Chris Messina as sports agent David Falk, and Marlon Wayans as basketball coach George Raveling. Chris Tucker and Viola Davis also star as the parents of Michael Jordan, Howard White and Deloris Jordan respectively. The film is helmed by both Amazon Studios and Artists Equity, the production company recently founded by Damon and Affleck.
