Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, revisit Hugh Hudson’s extraordinary debut – a masterful, indelibly scored British classic, nominated for seven Oscars and winner of four including Best Picture, set 100 years ago at the 1924 Olympic Games.
1924: As the British track team prepares for Paris, we follow two underdog outsiders: Eric (Ian Charleson) is the devout Christian who believes his running talent is a gift from God; Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) is the Jewish Cambridge student who dreams of proving to his antisemitic fellow students wrong. Both must make sacrifices as they strive, individually and together, to achieve their goals.
“A bold, intelligent, romantic film with all the lineaments of a classic” ★★★★★ The Guardian
