Plot
The true story of 1970's American running phenomenon Steve Prefontaine. Elevated to rock star status amongst the sport's fans, he didn't so much run races as attack them, with a charisma and competitive ferocity that ignited the crowd. Multi-faceted and unconventional, Prefontaine was the holder of every American distance-running record from 2,000 to 10,000 metres before his tragic, untimely death at the age of 24. Engrossing.
