Race

The remarkable true story of American Olympic star Jesse Owens is told in this gripping biodrama. Standing tall against the racism he faced at home while distinguishing himself as an amazingly gifted track and field runner, Owens (Stephan James) found himself competing in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin where the very presence of an African-American athlete challenged Nazi Germany’s Aryan ideals and captured the world’s attention. Jason Sudeikis, Shanice Banton, Jeremy Irons, and William Hurt also star. 134 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
