A celebration of the finest moments from the world's largest and most historic sporting event, released to coincide with the return of the Olympic Games to their Greek roots as Athens became the venue of the 28th modern Olympics in August 2004. Contrasting bygone heroes with modern-day sports stars, the film offers an insight into the event's past, present and future, and features footage of all its most defining moments, from black US athlete Jesse Owens' defiance of both the odds and the prevailing political regime when he won four gold medals in Berlin in 1936 under the watchful eye of Adolf Hitler, to Carl Lewis's repeat of Owens' incredible quadruple win in Los Angeles in 1984.
