Starring Michael Douglas, Susan Anspach, Lawrence Dane, and Eugene Levy. This action/drama motion picture was filmed in New York and Canada and is about American marathon runner Michael Andropolis as he sets his heart on representing the United States at the Olympic games in Montreal. Meanwhile he struggles with work, his marriage has fallen apart, and his two children are not sure how best to relate to him. He sets out on his task with determination and hope that his success will resolve his personal problems. You experience the Olympic Trials, where he barely makes the team, and you may find yourself rooting for him during the Olympic marathon where Jim McKay does the announcing. If you want a copy of this movie plan on going to the auction sites, but I recommend avoiding the holiday time when the price can skyrocket. Some of these tapes are subtitled in Spanish as this video was never formally released in the United States. You can purchase a Region 2 DVD at Amazon.com and below is other cover art used to promote this film.
