“RACE” is based on the incredible true story of Jesse Owens, the legendary athletic superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy. “RACE” is an enthralling film about courage, determination, tolerance, and friendship, and an inspiring drama about one man’s fight to become an Olympic legend.
Shamier Anderson, Stephan James and Jason Sudeikis
“RACE” also stars Jeremy Irons, Carice van Houten, and William Hurt. It is directed by Stephen Hopkins (“The Ghost and the Darkness,” “24”) and opens nationwide in theaters February 19.
