Summary: Nice running flick
Comment: Got this to remind me of my days running cross country in university. We'd often have to go on loooooonnnnnnggggg bus trips to races, and this movie got played quite a bit. Inspirational movie, though nothing that's going to win an Academy Award. Great story though.
Probably best for those into sports/running.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: Watch this movie once and, over the years, you will watch it again and again. I'm sure even the great Billy Mays himself has been, and continues to be, touched by such a cinematic tribute.
Customer Rating:
Summary: inspirational
Comment: excellent movie. truly one of the great untold stories of a remarkable american-indian athlete and the many adverse conditions he had to overcome. (billy mills is still the only american athlete who has one gold at the 10,000 meters at the olympic games). robby benson is remarkable in this movie.

Summary: A life lived in courage
Comment: I agree with Mr. Turner, especially the comments about current track and field (lack of) coverage. I guess actually showing distance events is too much work from the comfy chairs. I just can't imagine breaking away from a football/baseball/basketball game at the beginning of the event only to return to show a clip of the finish. Aye, another argument for another day.
I've got this movie in my treadmill rotation and have watched it several times now. This is definitely one of Benson's better movies, although I wonder if a native American could have been found to play the role. I guess it helped in that Mills was caught between two worlds, so Benson was something of his reverse character.
Benson's running sequences are very good, that boy FAST. I wince when I see him looking over his shoulder so much, seeing him lose time with every glance as he twists himself around. 'It's a movie' I have to tell myself while thinking 'Stop doing that Mills!' at the same time.
An inspiring tale, one that continues to be written in his deeds beyond the Olympic glory.
If you are a runner, buy it. If you are not a runner, all the more reason to start after watching it.

Summary: Great Movie
Comment: Everyone agrees this is a great movie. If you can find an original or unedited (watered down from a PG rating!) it is even better
