A naturalistic dramatization of record breaking distance runner Steve Prefontaine's struggle to win, culminating in the 1972 Munich Olympics, this film favors documentary-style character development more than conventional "sports film" hero worship. A feature-film breakthrough for director James and co-producer/cinematographer Peter Gilbert (the creative team behind HOOP DREAMS), as well as star Leto, previously known as the hunky Jordan Catalano on TV's "My So-Called Life."

    Starring Jared Leto, Prefontaine is one of the most endearing and inspirational movies I own. From the director and producer of Hoop Dreams (A+ itself), Prefontaine is the biography of legendary miler Steve Prefontaine – tracing his roots, college experience at the University of Oregon, Olympic efforts, and post-Olympic death. Whether you are an athlete looking for inspiration or a fan of biographies and great individuals – Prefrontaine is beautifully put together and truly special. Though it didn’t earn acclaim or box-office success, this is a great movie and well worth owning.

    CBS Radio: Exciting & Unforgettable!
    San Francisco Chronicle: Exceptional!
    Siskel & Ebert: Two Thumbs UP!
