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.

    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.

  • I couldn't believe I never heard of this one before.

    I happened to be flipping channels today and saw this was on. Since it had been several years since I last saw it I clicked it on, but didn't mean to stay. As it happened, I found this film to be just as gripping now as it was before. My own kids started watching it, too, and enjoyed it - which was even more satisfying for me considering the kind of current junk they're used to. No, this is not an action-packed thriller, nor are there juicy love scenes between Abrahams and his actress girlfriend. There is no "colorful" language to speak of; no politically correct agenda underlying its tale of a Cambridge Jew and Scottish Christian. This is a story about what drives people internally - what pushes them to excel or at least to make the attempt to do so. It is a story about personal and ...

  • 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!
