This is the best of two films made about Steve Prefontaine, whose running career at the Univ of Oregon coincided with my years there in grad school. Unlike the other, this doesn't run from a probable contributor to his fatal car accident, his own recklessness. Crudup and Sutherland as Pre and Bowerman are terrific.
Lots of personal memories in this film shot on location. I was there. Indeed my office was in the building burned down by radicals in one scene.
