Watch "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist" for the true story around Ali's legendary comeback fight against Jerry Quarry in 1970 and the heist that took place afterwards. It would ultimately transform Atlanta into a "Black Mecca" but, in the meantime, hustler Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams will find himself with some very fast talking to do.
It's streaming on Peacock in the U.S., but if you're away, we'll explain how to watch Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist online from anywhere with a VPN.
Kevin Hart plays Chicken Man as the story twists and turns. The idea to throw the aftershow at his party house seemed perfect. The guestlist, including some of the wealthiest and most notorious criminals in America, is incredible. And the heist, is a very bad idea. Chicken Man is accused of masterminding the robbery – which, given the chosen profession of those who had been robbed, was NOT a good position to be in.
He has to clear his name, and fast, but the first person he must convince is his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (played by Don Cheadle), one of the first black detectives in the city's desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.
