The 1981 Oscar winner for best picture, Chariots of Fire, presents two young athletes from Great Britain who competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics. The film can be seen as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or a tale of true determination and inspiration. The protagonists are Eric Liddell, a devout Protestant and divinity student who feels closer to God when he runs, and Harold Abrahams, a competitive Cambridge student who faces class prejudice and anti-Semitism. Supporting roles by Ian Holm as Abrahams's coach, and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as Cambridge figures add depth to the story. The film, featuring Vangelis's iconic synthesized score, won an Oscar as well. Directed by Hugh Hudson in his debut film and produced by David Puttnam, Chariots of Fire captures the spirit of these unlikely heroes as they strive for greatness amidst societal challenges.
