Running Brave (1983)

Movie Info

In the case of this dramatized story about a Native American who thrilled the world when he won the 10,000 meter run in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the subject is far nobler than the script, the dialogue, and the acting. Billy Mills (Robby Benson), a member of the Sioux tribe from South Dakota, ran track at the University of Kansas under a hard-nosed coach and competed successfully for a spot in the Tokyo Olympics. His extraordinary feat of beating out a field of world-famous, championship runners

No one will mistake Running Brave for a great work of art, but it's an overlooked film that young people should see.

Audience Reviews for Running Brave

A real Native person and mostly true story. Robby Benson in "red face" doesn't come across very well at all and a bad performance. Unfortunate that a real notable Native Americans life story is marred by Hollywood and bad acting.

An inspirational film about a native American runner, but why Robby Benson?
