Netflix has announced a new sports drama, “Fight for ’84,” with Jamie Foxx set to star and produce. The film centers on the United States Olympic boxing team’s historic run at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, where American boxers won nine gold medals, the most by any nation in Olympic boxing history.

In total, 11 American boxers medaled that year. The story begins with the tragedy of March 1980, when a LOT Polish Airlines flight crashed near Warsaw, killing 14 American amateur boxers and eight staff members who were traveling to compete in Poland.
