It will be available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide following its theatrical release.
“Air” was released in the US in April and has garnered 92 percent “Certified Fresh” Tomatometer rating and a 98 percent verified audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and an “A” CinemaScore.
The film reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then-rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division, which revolutionized the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand.
It follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional team with everything on the line, the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son’s immense talent, and the basketball phenom who would become the greatest of all time.
Damon plays the role of the maverick Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro and Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight, with Jason Bateman as Rob Strasser, Chris Messina as David Falk, Matthew Maher as Peter Moore, Marlon Wayans as George Raveling, Chris Tucker as Howard White, Viola Davis as Deloris Jordan, and Gustaf Skarsgård as Horst Dassler.
This is the first time that Affleck directed a feature film starring Damon.
The film’s soundtrack of ‘80s hits—from Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon, The Clash, Night Ranger, Dire Straits, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Squeeze, and many more—is available digitally by Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment.
