## Synopsis

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (2024) is a United States limited series created by Shaye Ogbonna for Peacock. Across eight episodes of about fifty-one minutes each, the miniseries dramatizes the armed robbery of hundreds of guests at an after-party held on the night Muhammad Ali defeated Jerry Quarry, a fight that followed Ali's ban from boxing for refusing the military draft. Kevin Hart plays Gordon 'Chicken Man' Williams, with Samuel L. Jackson as Frank Moten, Taraji P. Henson as Vivian Thoma, and Don Cheadle as JD Hudson anchoring the ensemble. The engine is a crew assembling a daring plan against tight odds, with each episode tightening the pressure on the people involved. The tone is tense and gritty, grounded in a true crime story with the texture of a period crime drama. Set in the 1970s United States, the story moves through the nightly world of boxing crowds, wealthy party guests and armed criminals. Fans of Money Heist, Boardwalk Empire and true crime dramas will find resonance in its layered planning and moral grit.
