English Summary:

The Long Run is a 2000 film starring Oscar nominee Armin Mueller-Stahl as a running coach and Nthati Moshesh as a young runner. It was directed by Jean Stewart and written by Johann Potgieter.

The film is based around the Comrades Marathon, an ultra-marathon race run over a distance of approximately 90 km (55.9 mi) between the capital of the Kwazulu-Natal Province of South Africa, Pietermaritzburg, and the coastal city of Durban.

A failed track coach finally finds someone who he believes has what it takes to win. The Comrades Marathon is a 90-k race in South Africa. An aging running coach, Barry, wants to field a winner; he’s working with four men from a factory, but when he’s fired to make way for a smooth, corporate type, he’s at loose ends. Then he sees Christine, a Namibian immigrant who runs to forget her troubles. He offers to coach her and soon she’s living at his house, following his diet and training regimen. But his single-mindedness gets to her: she wants a job and a place of her own. Plus, the man who replaced Barry likes her and wants her away from Barry. Can runner and coach (woman and man, African and European) sort out their complex relationship before the race?

Hungarian Summary:

Barry Bohmer futóedző mindenkori célja, hogy győztest faragjon versenyzőiből. Ám amikor egyszerre négy sportolójával is nehezen boldogul, egész egyszerűen kirúgják és más edzőt vesznek fel helyette. Barry ekkor találkozik össze Christine-nel, egy namíbiai emigráns sportolóval, aki csakis azért fut, hogy feledje a gondjait. A két ember ettől kezdve különösen nagy hatással van egymásra, ekkor azonban felbukkan egy másik edző, aki szemet vet a céltudatos sportemberre.
