Returning back to her house, she is distraught over her mother leaving and is consoled by her grandmother Georgeanna. Six years later, a teenage Anna Mae relocates to St. Louis, where she reunites with her elder sister Alline and her mother. While in St. Louis, Anna is taken by Alline to a nightclub at East St. Louis where, after viewing a performance by charismatic bandleader named Ike Turner and his band the Kings of Rhythm, she pursues a position to sing with Turner after noting women coming onstage to sing with the musician. One night, Anna finally gets her chance to perform for Ike and impresses the bandleader so much that he offers to mentor her and produce her music. In time, Ike and Anna develop a close friendship.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As the first front woman of the Kings of Rhythm, along with the formation of a backing girl group, later known as the Ikettes, Anna develops a local popularity at the St. Louis club scene. However, after Ike's girlfriend, Lorraine Taylor, shoots herself after confronting Anna on rumors she and Ike had slept together, she and Ike begin an unexpected romance. After recording the hit, "A Fool in Love", Anna becomes pregnant with their son Ronnie and Anna learns, while in the hospital, that her name has changed to Tina Turner after the radio station announces the name "Ike & Tina Turner" following the playing of "A Fool in Love". Though told she was anaemic and in need of three weeks rest in hospital following her pregnancy, Ike takes Tina out of the hospital and convinces her to marry him in Tijuana. Problems begin developing between Ike and Tina almost immediately after "A Fool in Love" when Tina complains of being overworked, angering Ike to the point he verbally abuses her before a show at the Apollo Theater. Despite this, when Tina takes the stage that night to perform the song, the Ike & Tina Turner Revue becomes a national sensation and relocates to Los Angeles. Upon learning that Ike & Tina have moved to Los Angeles, Lorraine Taylor makes an unexpected visit to their new home and drops off Ike's previous children, Ike Jr. and Michael, with Tina's other sons Craig and Ronnie, which further complicates matters at home.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One day while at home, Tina voices her opinion that Ike's music "all sounds the same", which leads to Ike beating her in front of their four sons. Following a performance on a teen rock and roll show in 1966, Tina is offered a solo deal with Phil Spector for the song, "River Deep - Mountain High", which upsets Ike, though he takes the $25,000 Spector offers to keep out of the studio. Following the song's successful launch, Ike & Tina celebrates by having lunch at a diner, but this ends when Tina gets into a fight with Ike over him offering her a piece of pound cake, leading to a public fight, which leads to one of the Ikettes, a close friend of Tina's, leaving after Ike slaps her. Fed up with Ike's abuse one morning, Tina calls her mother Zelma telling her she was leaving Ike and heading back to St. Louis. But while on their way back, Ike learns of their whereabouts and drags Tina back to California. While opening for the Rolling Stones in London, Ike & Tina find success with their recording of "Proud Mary", which transforms the Revue from a national R&B phenomenon to an international sensation. Overtime, crowds begin clamoring more to Tina than Ike, which causes further tension as Ike discovers cocaine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>During one recording session of the song, "Nutbush City Limits" in 1973, an addicted Ike verbally attacks Tina for not singing the song properly, blaming her for the duo's issues in following their previous hits. After hitting Tina repeatedly, he initiates raping Tina. Finding no chance of escape, one night, Tina overdoses a full bottle of sleeping pills before a show and is rushed to a hospital where she recovers. Tina eventually visits a friend, a former Ikette, who convinces her to practice Buddhism and the chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, telling her that the chanting would "change her life". Though skeptical, Tina attempts it and soon begins feverishly chanting, to the shock of onlookers, including Ike, who is distracted by the new Tina. Then, in 1976, while en route to a show in Dallas, a fed-up Tina begins to annoy Ike. While in the limousine on their way to the hotel, Ike and Tina engage in a physical fight which leaves them both bloodied and battered. Upon their entry, Ike falls asleep and Tina makes her escape with only her purse. Afraid of being found out, Tina runs to the back of the hotel and faces oncoming traffic before arriving at a Ramada Inn where she pleads to the hotel manager that she needs a room despite only having 36 cents on her person, the manager agrees and gives Tina the room. Tina later files for divorce and in the final matter, Tina agrees to give up everything except her stage name, which is granted.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In 1980, Tina begins rebuilding her career at the cabaret circuit and invites a young impresario named Roger Davies to see her perform so he could manage her and help her realize her dreams as a rock star. Impressed that she still could perform, Davies agrees to manage her. Still, the presence of Ike threatens to derail her chances. After one rehearsal, Ike spots her and tries to convince her to return back to him. When she refuses, Ike gets belligerent and Tina leaves before Ike becomes violent. One night, around 1983, while watching an interview of herself on TV, a battered Ike Jr. comes to her house, warning her that Ike has plans of killing her. Turning to her Buddhist faith, she prepares for a show at the Ritz Theatre where Ike confronts her at her dressing room with a gun. Undeterred, Tina verbally silences him and leaves the dressing room where she dazzles the audience at the Ritz with her new hit single, "What's Love Got to Do with It" where she eventually realizes her dream of being a rock superstar.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cast<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Angela Bassett as Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rae'Ven Larrymore Kelly as young Anna Mae<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cora Lee Day as Grandma Georgiana<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Khandi Alexander as Darlene<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Laurence Fishburne as Ike Turner<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jenifer Lewis as Zelma Bullock, Tina's mother<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phyllis Yvonne Stickney as Alline Bullock<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Penny Johnson Jerald as Lorraine Taylor<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Vanessa Bell Calloway as Jackie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chi McBride as Fross<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sherman Augustus as Reggie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Terrence Riggins as Spider<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bo Kane as Dance Show Host<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Terrence Evans as Bus Driver<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob LaBelle as Phil Spector<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>James Reyne as Roger Davies<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Richard T.
