I, Tonya is a biographical film which follows the career of former figure skater Tonya Harding and her fall from stardom.
Harding became the first American woman to complete a triple axel during a competition in 1991.
However, in 1994 her abusive ex-husband Jeff Gillooly plots to injure Nancy Kerrigan, who is Tonya’s Olympic rival.
