The open-air cinema Plaffeien closes the season with the film “Air: The Big Throw”. In the early 1980s, Nike employee Sonny Vaccaro was convinced that his company should sign up-and-coming basketball talent Michael Jordan. But his boss, Nike founder Phil Knight, is skeptical. Putting on such a record sum for a young player who hasn’t played a single minute in the top league NBA? But Vaccaro has big plans and even wants to design his own shoe for the young star. And time is pressing, as the German competition from Adidas is also digging into Jordan. He’s not sure where and if he should sign. But Vaccaro has an ace up his sleeve: he has realized that Jordan’s mother, Deloris, is the key to his success. Which company the basketball prodigy will play for in the future also depends on her opinion and advice to her son. ar
