Russell directed the film, and it centers on John Madden and the different stages of his career in professional football.
As per the movie’s official synopsis, “Inspired by the life of a beloved American icon, Madden chronicles John Madden’s incredible journey alongside best friend and true original Al Davis — from a Super Bowl-winning partnership with the Raiders, to becoming football’s most recognizable voice, to building the worldwide Madden NFL video game. Madden is the celebration of a brilliant mind whose once in a century spirit and personality, partnership with his daring wife Virginia, lifelong friendships, and infectious love of people and football transcended the world of sports.”
Talking about his upcoming film, Cage said, “Accepting the role to play this larger-than-life legend has been a highlight for me.” While expressing his admiration for John Madden, the actor added, “His legacy lives on, not just on the football field or the broadcast booth, but globally through gaming.”
In the film, Cage plays Madden, while Bale portrays Davis. The movie’s supporting cast includes Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Fields Madden, John Mulaney as Electronic Arts’ Trip Hawkins, Sienna Miller as Carol Sagal Davis, and Joel Murray as Pat Summerall.
