Eric Little, a devout Christian, refuses to run the 100 meters race Sunday because of his devotion to God. Harold Abrahams, a Jew, struggles with the thrill of victory in a race in which his chief rival, Little, doesn't run. Abrahams wins the 100 meters. Little ends up competing in the 400 meters and wins that race. Both men find a degree of success and contentment in their lives following the aftermath of the Olympic Games. |
