This excellent tribute to Olympic runners is a non-fictional account of Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell. Abrahams is an English Jew who will accept nothing less but to win and Eric Liddell is a religious man who races in the name of God. It's an engaging film that won the Best Picture Award in 1981.
