Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell are both athletic runners who strike up a friendly rivalry with each other. Both men face difficult challenges in pursuing the sport: Harold confronts Antisemitism from the established running community at Cambridge, while Eric is torn between a life of running and a dedication to serving as a missionary overseas. This timeless classic won the 1981 Oscar for Best Picture, and tells the captivating story of Great Britain’s triumph at the 1924 Summer Olympics. This film is rated PG.
