Chariots Of Fire Premiere

Chariots Of Fire Premiere

Chariots of Fire remains one of the best and most powerful sporting movies of all time and this week sees the classic return to the big screen.

With it's great story and iconic music Chariots of Fire is a movie that has endured and grown in popularity over the years.

Ahead of a new release comes a premiere and director Hugh Hudson and stars Nigel Havers, Ben Cross and Alice Krige were on the red carpet in London earlier this week.

And we have some premiere footage for you to take a look at:

Chariots of Fire tells the story of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics: Eric Liddell is a devout Christian who believes that his athletic abilities are a gift from God, and that using that gift to its fullest extent - to win the gold medal - will be his way of repaying that gift. 

Harold Abrahams is an English Jew, a student at Cambridge, who dreams of fame and of proving to his anti-Semitic fellow students, and to the world, that Jews are in no respect inferior. 

Their motives are noble. Their commitment is total. Their integrity is unquestionable.

They will both make personal sacrifices to achieve their goals. In the process, through all the obstacles and personal issues they conquer, they prove that striving for victory in their own terms is, perhaps, its own reward. 

Chariots of Fire is released 13th July
