Malcolm X divides the life of the African-American activist Malcolm X into three sections. The first section deals with the troubled childhood of Malcolm Little, whose father, a preacher, was murdered by the Black Legion and whose mother was institutionalized for insanity.

The second section follows Malcolm's life in prison, where a fellow inmate, Baines (a composite character), introduces him to the teachings of the Nation of Islam.

The third section follows Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca which greatly softens his beliefs, teaching him that Muslims come from all races, even whites, and he endeavors to break free of the strict dogma of the Nation of Islam, with tragic results. [1]
