The true story of two very different British athletes as they race for glory in the 1924 Paris Olympics – back in cinemas to celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics!

Eric Liddell is a devout Christian who believes that his athletic abilities are a gift from God, and that using that gift to its fullest extent – to win the gold medal – will be his way of repaying that gift.

Harold Abrahams is an English Jew, a student at Cambridge, who dreams of fame and of proving to his anti-Semitic fellow students, and to the world, that Jews are in no respect inferior.

Their motives are noble. Their commitment is total. Their integrity is unquestionable. They will both make personal sacrifices to achieve their goals. In the process, through all the obstacles and personal issues they conquer, they prove that striving for victory in their own terms is, perhaps, its own reward.

Classic sports drama based on a true story, directed by Hugh Hudson and starring Ian Charleson, Ben Cross, Ian Holm and Nigel Havers. Winner of four Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Music, Original Screenplay and Costume Design, in addition to receiving nominations for three more.
