Based on truths.
The story: 1984. 
Sonny Vaccaro is a basketball talent scout for Nike.
Competing with Adidas and Converse, Nike isn't doing so well sales-wise.
Sonny is given the task of recruiting a new spokesperson to get the company's sales back up.
When he believes that the only person is up-and-coming teenage basketball great Michael Jordan for the position, many odds are against him.
Both the company's Marketing VP and the CEO do not think Sonny can pull it off, mainly due to money restraints and the fact that Michael is much more interested in Adidas and Converse.
But Sonny talks them into giving it a go.
Working with Nike shoe designer and Marketing VP, Sonny helps create a shoe made just for Jordan.
