      Fire On The Track: The Steve Prefontaine Story


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
"Pre" embodied the spirit of athletic excellence. He had a belief in self and sport that transcended all but the outer reaches of human speed and endurance. As a freshman, he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which hailed him as "America's Distance Prodigy". By the time he died in a tragic auto accident at the age of 24, Pre held all 7 American records between 2,000 and 10,000 meters. Off the track, he fought relentlessly for the rights of amateur athletes to prosper for their sacrifices. Narrated by Ken Kesey, Fire On the Track is the story of this young lion's life, as told through rare footage and the memories of those who knew him best - his teammates, coaches, family and friends. Interviews include David Bedford, Frank Shorter, Ian Stewart, Bill Bowerman, Jeff Galloway, Dick Buerkle, Lasse Viren, Dana Carvey, Mac Wilkins, Kenny Moore, Dave Wottle, Alberto Salazar, and many more.

Reviews:

Excellent documentary!
I am a runner, so Steve Prefontaine is a hero to me. He was an awesome runner, and also did a lot for amateur athletics overall, affecting all generations after him. He died such a tragic, untimely death, but his legacy and inspiration live on. Great documentary of a great hero.

Coach Harry
One of the most inspiring documentaries I've ever watched. My children of whom are all runners are crazed Pre fans and all ran personal bests after watching this film. This is a film that all runners should watch. Coach's should direct their children to watch this movie also. We need more legends like Pre to inspire our runners of the future!

Good documentary
Good documentary with multiple opinions. Wish they had it on DVD though. Not as long as Prefontaine or Without Limits but mostly informational. Inspirational for any avid Pre fan and good info for those not familiar with him

Inspirational
I highly recommend this movie to ANYONE who needs inspiration or motivation. Perhaps you are in sales and need a little extra drive to get over the rejection of a lost sale,etc. This movie will tell you to never quit no matter what your odds. Steve Prefontaine was a world class runner who ran in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Although he didn't win a medal nobody tried harder than he did. His life was cut short in a tragic accident,but his memory lives on in the life he ran on the track in Oregon. If you enjoyed this movie,be sure to see,"Without Limits" which is another outstanding portrayal of his life.

A very long run for a short slide....
Very little actual running here. Mostly a Nike commercial. Lots of silly interviews that don't add anything. Watch one of the movies, instead.
