From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Suspiria), Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court.

Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist, West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor, The Crown) – his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.

As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.

A pulse-racing, psychologically complex story of love, rivalry and manipulation, this highly anticipated sporting drama serves an engrossing love triangle in the unforgivingly competitive world of tennis – a game in which ‘love’ counts for zero.

Electric chemistry sparks between the trio of young rising stars Zendaya, O’Connor and Faist in this unmissable sporting sparring match from acclaimed auteur Luca Guadagnino.
