Air is a 2023 American biographical sports drama film directed by Ben Affleck and written by Alex Convery. The film is based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a basketball shoeline, of which a Nike employee seeks to strike a business deal with rookie player Michael Jordan. It stars Matt DamonBen AffleckJason BatemanMarlon WayansChris MessinaChris Tucker, and Viola Davis.

The project was announced in April 2022, with Affleck set to direct, as well as star and produce alongside Damon through their newly-formed production company Artists Equity. Principal photography took place between June and July 2022, with Affleck reuniting with his frequent collaborators, cinematographer Robert Richardson and editor William Goldenberg. While Michael Jordan was not involved with the production, he did meet with Affleck and offered several suggestions, including the casting of Davis as his mother. Originally set to premiere on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, distributor Amazon Studios opted to release the film theatrically first after positive test screenings, making it the first Amazon title since Late Night (2019) to be released in theaters without simultaneously premiering on Prime Video.

Air had its premiere at South by Southwest on March 18, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 5, by Amazon Studios. The film received critical acclaim, particularly for Affleck's direction, Convery's screenplay, and the performances of the cast.
