I'm surprised this movie isn't more popular No idea how accurate the details are, but it is tells the story of Steve Prefontaine, and America runner, and Bill Bowerman, the founder of Nike. The acting wasn't good, the cliches of this kind of movie were all there (stirring music, sweaty slow motion pictures, rapid cutting so you can't see that actors aren't world class runners), but at the end of it all, it was very watchable with some tense and sad moments For anyone into sports movies, you should watch this. And it has enough other elements to keep the less sport obsessed interested.
