Race mostly focus on the life of Owens up to the 1936 games, but also has a great side story about America dealing with the Nazi Regime with the Olympics being held in their hometown. Also want to give credit to Jeremy Irons who plays Avery Brundage of the U.S Olympic committee.

Becoming a huge fan of the work of Jason Sudeikis who plays Jesse's Coach, Larry Snyder. It's a great reflection of who Owens was.

A black man barely welcomed in his own backyard gets the chance to run in the greatest competition of all time, in another country that does not accept him as well, and he does it and helps change the face of the world forever.

You don't want to throw around the word epic and overuse it, but when you make a movie about the Olympics, it's usually a movie about one athlete taking on the world (sport depending).
