An original US One Sheet poster from 1981 for the historical drama “Chariots of Fire”

A British historical sports drama film directed by Hugh Hudson, written by Colin Welland and produced by David Puttnam. Ben Cross and Ian Charleson star as Abrahams and Liddell, alongside Nigel Havers, Ian Holm, John Gielgud, Lindsay Anderson, Cheryl Campbell, Alice Krige, Brad Davis and Dennis Christopher in supporting roles. Kenneth Branagh makes his debut in a minor role.

In the class-obsessed and religiously divided United Kingdom of the early 1920s, two determined young runners train for the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell, a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries in China, sees running as part of his worship of God's glory and refuses to train or compete on the Sabbath. Harold Abrahams overcomes anti-Semitism and class bias, but neglects his beloved sweetheart Sybil in his single-minded quest.

“This is the story of two men who run...not to run...but to prove something to the world. They will sacrifice anything to achieve their goals...Except their honour. Two men chasing dreams of glory!”
