    About this product

    Product Information

    Director Hugh Hudson's absorbing drama, based on a true story, deals with the personal struggles faced by two very different long-distance runners competing for Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) is a devout Christian who sees victory as a testament to the glory of God, while the other, Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Cambridge student who sees victory as a challenge to anti-Semitism and his ongoing struggle for acceptance by Britain's elite. Eric, a hometown Scottish hero to the people, gives rousing sermons after victory and works at a local missionary. Harold runs with a zealous commitment, upsetting Cambridge's educational upper crust (played with enjoyable wit and candor by Sir John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson) while enjoying social life with his university chums and his beautiful showgirl girlfriend (Alice Krige). But when faced with such a competent challenger, Harold hires trainer Sam Mussabini (Ian Holm) to further his dreams of winning the gold. Ultimately, the two runners meet in Paris to run for British victory in a rousing finale. Featuring an unforgettable soundtrack by Vangelis, this Academy Award-winning film is an inspirational story of athletic excellence and spiritual awakening that captures the zeal of post-WWI Britain and the glory of the Olympics.

        Awesome movie of two individual on why they run.

        One of the best movies Hollywood made. Even though it won 1981 Picture of the year says enough, the story line and portrayer of the actors of the real people was excellent. I never get tired of watching it.

      • A bit intellectual and complex, but worth watching. I loved it growing up.

        I grew up with this movie. It was over my head in general, but there were certain parts that were very clear to me: that God honors those who honor Him, that Eric Liddell was a humble and committed man, and that something in this movie touched deep into my soul and spirit. It is well written, a little cryptic in its messages, a bit complicated, but very interesting. If you're interested in his character particularly (there are many characters in this movie), I would also recommend On Eagles Wings, which is about later in Eric Liddell's life.

      • Live History

        I saw this a long time ago, so it was like seeing a new movie. It is history coming back to life, with some film clips of the actual events. Enjoyable as well as educational. It deserved the academy awards.

      • In for something deep and meaningful. Intriguing.

        I love this movie. It is so well written and produced. It captures a time and mood wonderfully. I love the styles and manners of that time period, and think the actors did a wonderful job. And, of course, the music, is beautiful!
