    This film is beyond exhilarating and makes people motivated and determined to excel in every way they can. I have been inspired by Pre in multiple ways and continue to use him as role model.

    I am a track distance runner in Louisiana. I always loved Nike and Steve Pre, but never knew they had such history. An amazing movie weather you run or not!

    This is the most accurate Pre movies out there. Without Limits had a lot of false things in the movie. Go Pre.

    i am a cross country runner of alabama and on the night BEFORE our state race a bunch of the runners from my team (including me) we all went over to a friends house and watched this movie "prefontaine" when i first heard it i was like what the heck is tht?? but now iam upsessed with the movie and i love it everytime i think of this movie it makes me want to be a better runner. ive been in cross country going on 3 years now, but iam not the best on team, my fastest time is a 25:13 for a 5k and to me thts terrible but getting better, and evryone else on the team (the girls) are running like 22's, 23's,and sumtimes 24's. it makes me mad and think i should be getting better ..should'nt i?? so now ive finally realized i have to work harder to be a better runner and for me to actually beat Scottsboro.... :) so this movie is moving....its inspirtrational...<33
