Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: Following his defeat of Sonny Liston in February, 1964, Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) hangs out in a Miami hotel room with friends Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom, Jr.), and spiritual adviser Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir) to discuss among other things the future and the state of the world. Critical Analysis:
One Night in Miami is a fictionalized version of a meeting between some of the most iconic figures in African-American history, and director Regina King and writer Kemp Powers (adapting his own play) do a remarkable job getting to the men behind the myths.

Leslie Odom Jr., Eli Goree, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Aldis Hodge in One Night in Miami. (CNN)A fascinating historical meeting of the minds provides the foundation for Regina King s impressive feature film directorial debut in One Night in Miami, a creative extrapolation about Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke coming together in 1964. It s a small but riveting movie, anchored by a quartet of knockout performances.
Adapted by Kemp Powers from his play (he s having quite a year, having just co-directed Pixar s Soul ), the story hinges on Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir, who recently played Barack Obama in Showtime s The Comey Rule ) trying to recruit high-profile converts to Islam, using Ali (Eli Goree), then still Cassius Clay, as his point of entry.
