To be honest I wasn´t interested much in this at first. I feared they would wrap the story of legendary Jesse Owens in the american hero blanket. The typical good vs. evil movie. Hollywood has had a tendency to overdo it at times. Instead they managed the balance between the sport and the political side and also showed that in America too there were issues concerning racism. On the production side I liked the look of the movie very much. Visualy it was very good. The scenes in the Olympia Stadium in Berlin looked great.

Wow. Just wow. What a powerful story bought together so well - the adrenaline from some great sports scenes (and who doesn't enjoy that?), the disbelief / wonder of that kind of segregated society in modern times, the strength of some of the personal relationships (including the struggle Owens had to go through just to get to the Olympics), the people trying to stand up against the tyrannical government, and the political undertones of an impeding world war. It was a great story, a great script, some good acting (with a few real standouts) and some solid special effects (of the crowds, and the stadium). Recommended for virtually everyone.

A worthy and educational film, uplifting despite the troubling context.

A good solid rendition of the Jesse Owens story. The casting is very good and so is the plot development. The impact of the politics in the US with the racial segregation and the Nazi regime in Germany impacting the games were equally focused on, and therefore all of the important aspects of those storylines were drawn out very well. The sports part about this story revolving around Jesse's relationship to his coach and the feats he accomplished were also very well presented. The emotional entertainment and importance of the film make this for a good solid watch.

Wow, Hopkins directed this and, honestly, at best he's directed a lot of guilty pleasure movies. You know, the movies that you know are bad but you like them anyway. This one is actually, well, good.

It's a legit good film and that is odd for Hopkins.

Anyway, the failing is the Nazi thing. The More

I watched **The Jesse Owens Story (1984)** on TV as a kid, and still remember how it made me feel. So many emotions all at once. From hope, excitement, sadness and anger in different stages of the movie. While searching for that movie to watch again, I came across this recent 2016 movie about Jesse More
