About Challengers
From the imaginative director Luca Guadagnino, Challengers is a high-stakes narrative set in the world of professional tennis. The film features Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former talent turned coach who captures attention both on and off the court. Fierce, unapologetic, and strategic, Tashi becomes the catalyst for her husband Art’s quest for redemption following a series of defeats.
However, the comeback strategy takes an unexpected turn when Art faces Patrick, his ex-best friend — and Tashi’s past lover. As their shared histories resurface, the match evolves into something beyond mere competition. With the past and present colliding and emotions running high, Tashi must confront the ultimate dilemma: what is the true cost of victory?
Featuring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor, Challengers is a compelling tale of passion, rivalry, and ambition where triumph carries consequences that extend far beyond the tennis court.
