Wimbledon, 1980. Two passionate athletes come face to face: on the one hand we find the ever-cool and prudent-looking Swede Björn Borg, who has dominated the tennis circuit for years. On the other hand there is John McEnroe, a hot-headed eccentric newcomer from New York. While the two rivals face each other, the pair share a bond of much deeper significance.
