The 1991-92 NBA season opens with Michael Jordan absorbing Magic Johnson's retirement announcement, then playing through gambling allegations and the Chicago Bulls' pursuit of a 70-win season. Footage follows Jordan on the court trading blows with rivals and off it filming a music video alongside Michael Jackson, mixing game action with the celebrity trappings that came with being the league's biggest star. The season's spine is the Bulls' championship push, and the film tracks the pressure of trying to repeat as champions while carrying the league's commercial weight on his shoulders. It then follows Jordan to Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics, where he joins the Dream Team's run through the tournament, before closing back in Chicago at the Bulls' championship ring ceremony that fall. The film stays close to one calendar year, using game footage and behind-the-scenes moments to show what a single season of being Michael Jordan actually involved, from locker rooms to award ceremonies.
