In the late 1970s, an idealistic producer struck

out on his own to create a different kind of
movie – a movie about self-sacrifice and moral
courage, as embodied by two historic British
runners. The odds of getting it to the screen
were impossibly long, but the producer found a
way. He recruited a cast of young actors who
were filled with restless talent and ambition.
The result was Chariots of Fire which won the
Academy Award for Best Picture.
