Amazon film ‘One Night in Miami’ recounts a 1964 meeting between boxer Muhammad Ali, soul singer Sam Cooke, civil rights activist Malcolm X and football player Jim Brown

That’s the premise of the film “One Night in Miami,” out on Amazon Prime on Friday, which recounts a 1964 meeting between boxer Cassius Clay, soul singer Sam Cooke, civil rights activist Malcolm X and football player Jim Brown.

The four men met after Clay, then 22 years old, unexpectedly defeated heavyweight rival Sonny Liston in February 1964 in a fight in Miami Beach, Florida. Their imagined conversation ranges from the struggle of being Black in the United States in the 1960s to personal responsibility and career challenges.

King said she had not previously seen “four Black men realized this way on screen ... the way that I see them in my life. And that was just so exciting to me,” she said.
