Producer/director Ben Affleck’s Air is a polished and persuasive dramatization of the circumstances surrounding Michael Jordan’s groundbreaking endorsement deal with Nike, which took place in 1984 just as Jordan was about to make his professional NBA debut with the Chicago Bulls. That the outcome of the story is well known doesn’t diminish the film’s appeal. Actually, familiarity with the story is an enhancement to the enjoyment, watching as the pieces fall into place.
