English Summary:

Chariots of Fire is a 1981 British historical drama sports film directed by Hugh Hudson, produced by David Puttnam, and written by Colin Welland. 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. Ben Cross and Ian Charleson star as Abrahams and Liddell, respectively, alongside Nigel Havers, Ian Holm, Lindsay Anderson, John Gielgud, Cheryl Campbell, and Alice Krige in supporting roles.

In 1919, Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) enters the University of Cambridge, where he experiences anti-Semitism from the staff, but enjoys participating in the Gilbert and Sullivan club. He becomes the first person to ever complete the Trinity Great Court Run, running around the college courtyard in the time it takes for the clock to strike 12, and achieves an undefeated string of victories in various national running competitions. Although focused on his running, he falls in love with Sybil (Alice Krige), a leading Gilbert and Sullivan soprano.

Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), born in China of Scottish missionary parents, is in Scotland. His devout sister Jennie (Cheryl Campbell) disapproves of Liddell's plans to pursue competitive running, but Liddell sees running as a way of glorifying God before returning to China to work as a missionary.

 

Hungarian Summary:

Két fiatal atléta útja az 1924-es párizsi olimpián elért győzelmükig. Az egyik egy gazdag angol zsidó, aki olimpiai győzelmével akarja brit mivoltát bizonyítani, a másik egy szerény körülmények között élő protestáns lelkész. Az olimpián a futóverseny vasárnapra esik, s a lelkész ezen a napon nem hajlandó versenyezni. Riválisa - megfelelő ellenfél hiányában - győz. Az egyik hétköznapon megrendezett versenyen azonban a lelkész lesz az olimpiai bajnok. Két különböző társadalmi réteg képviselőiként vetélkednek, de mindketten nagy akaraterővel küzdenek a győzelemért.
