Movies like Chariots of Fire

Miracle tells the true story of the U.S. men's ice hockey team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics. It's not just a sports movie; it's a deep dive into American pride and the power of teamwork, much like the themes explored in Chariots of Fire.

The film recounts the true story of Francis Ouimet, the first amateur to win the U.S. Open in golf. Much like Chariots of Fire, this movie underlines the importance of passion, social barriers in sports and has the backdrop of the early 20th century.

This biographical sports film follows the life of the legendary American runner Steve Prefontaine and his relationship with his coach Bill Bowerman, who later co-founded Nike. Audiences who appreciated the athletic ambition and period feel of Chariots of Fire will likely find Without Limits similarly inspirational.

Another take on the Steve Prefontaine story, Prefontaine dives into the runner's life, struggles, and the tragic end to his career. Capturing the essence of determination and athletic spirit, it resonates with the same motifs of perseverance and competition as seen in Chariots of Fire.
