Chariots of Fire | 1981 | Picture Style | UK Quad

Chariots of Fire is a 1981 British historical drama film. It tells the fact-based story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice.

In his words to paraphrase an old adage, he is often invited to the trough, but isn't allowed to drink. His running prowess does e...
