Without Limits
Pre. His spirit set a pace only his heart could follow.
Steve Prefontaine was a champion's champion, holder of every American distance-running record from 2,000 to 10,000 meters. Fans elevated him to rock star status. Athletes were inspired by him. Off the track, officials mired in outdated politics got the point that activist Pre was taking the sport into a new era.

Before seeing this movie I had never heard of Steve Prefontaine.But the movie Without Limits turned out to be one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen for a while.Some people believe this is a feel good movie but I think it is more of a movie about believing in yourself.Pre has some very definate ideas about winning races.His coach well played by Donald Sutherland has also has his own philosophy of winning and there are moment of tension between the two but in the end they learn lessons from each other.
There is a subplot about the coach making custom shoes for each of his runners that is interesting as well.on my top 100 list! - Boyscout
I didnt know what to expect of this movie. I saw a snippet of it on the Greyhound bus one weekend and though I may as well rent it. That turned out to be a great decision. Not only does this movie give some depth to the life of Steve Prefontaine ("Pre"), it is a heart felt story about the life of a legend. Pre's long distance records are still holding to this day! So I gave it 4/5 stars for being an overall great movie. Zip it, watch it, and dont forget your box of Kleenex.A great 'feel good' movie! - Jumpshooter
I really didn't know what to expect when I put this movie on my list. The friend who recommended this movie told me that the story of Prefontaine is really inspirational. That it is.
The movie is about Prefontaine who dominated track events in the 70s. The movie is in the style of most American feel good movies. I would say if you liked Rudy, you will like Without Limits.
