Did You Know?
Goofs
On the wall, inside Coach Bill Bowerman's Garage, is a late 1970s-1980s Chevrolet Hubcap. This is too new for the time period of the film. The 10-speed bikes hanging also look about 5-10 years too new. See more »Quotes

This movie was brilliantly put together and the end result is phenomenal. Every scene in the movie is important to the overall end result and I didn't feel this movie was overly long at all and I don't understand those who said it was. The movie deals well with showing Pre's determination to be the best and the emotions of overcoming failure. I wanted to buy this on DVD only to find out they don't make it on DVD, and I couldn't understand why, this is an amazing film and you don't have to know who Prefontaine was to enjoy it, although you might appreciate it more.....
