Borg vs McEnroe (15)
This is the story of the epic rivalry between Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg and his biggest rival, the brash American John McEnroe, which came to a head in the 1980 Wimbledon final. Sverrir Gudnason plays the cool, stoic Borg whilst Shia LaBeouf is the hot-headed, loud McEnroe and Skarsgard is Borg's legendary trainer Lennart Bergen. Their 14-match rivalry became known as 'fire and ice', and it comes to a thrilling high point on 5 July 1980, the day they marched onto Wimbledon's Centre Court to play what is widely considered to be the finest tennis final of all time. An inspiring character study as well as a great sports film, this film will thrill you whether you're a tennis fan or not.
