Title:
Chariots Of Fire
Synopsis:
Based on a true story, Chariots of Fire is the internationally acclaimed Oscar-winning drama of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a Christian Scotsman, believes that he has to succeed as a testament to his faith. Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Englishman who wants desperately to be accepted and prove to the world that Jews are not inferior. The film crosscuts between each manâs life as he trains for the competition, fueled by these very different desires. As compelling as the racing scenes are, itâs really the depth of the two main characters that touches the viewer, as they forcefully drive home the theme that victory attained through devotion, commitment, integrity, and sacrifice is the most admirable feat one can achieve.
