In the post-World War I era, two British sprinters, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, have contrasting approaches to their running and its role in their lives. Harold, a Cambridge student, uses his speed to overcome perceived obstacles as a Jew and earn respect from his peers. Eric, a devout Christian, sees running as a way to spread God's word and honor his gift, which raises concerns with his sister about taking time away from his missionary work. The two men's lives intersect in national races, culminating in the highly anticipated 100-meter track event at the 1924 Paris Olympics, where they face American favorites Charles Paddock and Jackson Scholz.
