In the 70's, at the height of his popularity, music icon Elvis Presley felt frustrated and alone; he lost his passion for performing. He reached out to the only person who could understand: fellow icon Muhammad Ali. They met one fateful afternoon at Ali's vacation home for a wide-ranging and impactful heart to heart, discussing parents, childhood, faith, politics, race, and stardom--culminating in an electrifying impromptu performance that could only be pulled off by The King and The Greatest.
