Just in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics, we visit the 1924 Paris Olympics and the true story of two runners who overcome discrimination--antisemitism, class differences, and religious devotion--to become a team and win the gold. With its iconic Oscar-winning synth score by Vangelis, it also won Best Picture, Screenplay, and Costumes.
Starring Ben Cross, Ian Charleson, Nigel Havers, Alice Krige, Ian Holme, and John Guilgud. Directed by Hugh Hudson. Written by Colin Welland.
