WATCH: Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Billie Jean King on 'Battle of Sexes'

Centered on the iconic 1973 showdown between Billie Jean King (played by Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (played by Steve Carell), Battle of the Sexes weaves the fight for equality, a love story and a tennis match into an intricate and engrossing web.

"They absolutely run bullseye as far as the essence," King told Tennis Channel's Mary Carillo. "The feelings, the emotions, the ups and downs, and also having such pressure to beat Bobby. They got it right."

Leading up to the film's premiere, Stone, Carell, King and Carillo each gave their perspectives on the film's powerful message:

The film leaves viewers with a renewed desire to make a positive impact on the world—and left the actors and actresses with hope that it helps continue the conversation of equality.

"I think it's an important film because it shows that a lot of this is still relevant today," Stone says. "And that we still have a lot of work to do to move the needle forward."

Battle of the Sexes is in select theaters now, everywhere September 29th.
