Chariots of Fire | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

England's finest athletes have begun their quest for glory in the 1924 Olympic Games. Success brings honor to their nation. For two runners, the honor at stake is a personal honor... and their challenge one from within.

Ben Cross, Ian Charleson, Nigel Havers, Nicholas Farrell and Alice Krige enjoyed their first major movie roles in this debut theatrical feature for director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes). Producer David Puttnam (The Killing Fields, Local Hero) blended these talents to shape a film of unique and lasting impact. From its awesome footage of competition to its Oscar? winning Vangelis score, Chariots of Fire has blazed its way into the hearts of movie lovers everywhere.
