About this movie

Inspirational and entertaining, PREFONTAINE is another acclaimed success from the makers of HOOP DREAMS. It's the true-life story of legendary track star Steve Prefontaine, the exciting and sometimes controversial "James Dean of Track," whose spirit captured the heart of the nation! Cocky, charismatic, and tough, "Pre" was a running rebel who defied rules, pushed limits ... and smashed records ... in an incredible against-all-odds quest for Olympic gold! The triumphs and heartbreaks of this unforgettable champion will have you riveted from beginning to end!

Jared Leto never disappoints. I thought the movie was very well done. I learned a lot, not only about Prefontaine but about the struggles of being an amateur athlete in those times.

This movie is so amazing that I saw it in 97 and still to this day I remember everything about it! Incredible true story!

Good Story, but not even close to watching "Without Limits".... much better film about Pre.
