The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for best picture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics: devout Protestant Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a divinity student whose running makes him feel closer to God, and Jewish Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), a highly competitive Cambridge student who has to surmount the institutional hurdles of class prejudice and anti-Semitism. Theres delicious support from Ian Holm (as Abrahamss coach) and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as a couple of Cambridge fogies. Vangeliss soaring synthesized score, which seemed to be everywhere in the early 1980s, also won an Oscar. Chariots of Fire was the debut film of British television commercial director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke) and was produced by David Puttnam. --Jim Emerson

I never saw Chariots of Fire when it was in the theater in the early 80s, but I became interested in it after I saw some of the sites where it was filmed when I was in Scotland recently.
Its based on the true story of the track team of Great Britain in the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Eric Liddell has become one of my heroes -- standing for what you know is right even in the face of incredible pressure and sacrifice.
Its an amazing film!!
Love this movie!

Ive wanted a copy of Chariots of Fire for a long time, so I was thrilled to get this one. The quality was fine, although very dark at times, hence the 4 stars. It was really fun to see interviews with some of the stars and get their take on being involved in this project. Im really glad I purchased this movie.
