“Jesse Owens’ quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy.”
I'm not quite sure how I feel about the new film Race. It looks to be a feel good story, chronicling a mans road to redemption amid extreme odds but one of my main issues is Jason Sudeikis in a serious role. Race will be Sudeikis very first drama and he could very well surprise us. Well I guess we will find out soon enough The film takes place during the 1936 Olympics and follows the true story of Jesse Owens and his quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history.
