Summary Ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games, it’s the perfect time to check out the best movies about the Olympics, from Cool Runnings to Chariots of Fire. The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially dubbed the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, will take place in France, mostly in the host city of Paris. The opening ceremony will take place on July 26 and the games will last until August 11 . As usual, the Olympics will determine the best athletes from around the world in a series of grueling challenges.
9 Race One of the greatest stories in sports history is Jesse Owens’ track-and-field victory at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. At a time when Adolf Hitler was spreading white supremacist propaganda, a Black athlete came to his country and beat out the world’s best white athletes to win a record-breaking four gold medals. Stephen Hopkins turned this incredible story into a powerful biopic with 2016’s Race.
7 The Boys In The Boat Adapted from the book of the same name by Daniel James Brown, The Boys in the Boat revolves around the University of Washington’s rowing team, and chronicles their quest to compete in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Joel Edgerton stars as the team’s coach, Al Ulbrickson, Sr., alongside Callum Turner as one of the rowers, Joe Rantz, who recounts the story as an elderly man looking back on his glory days.
5 Foxcatcher Shortly after leaving The Office, Steve Carell tried his hand at a darker dramatic role in Foxcatcher. Carell plays multimillionaire and wrestling fan John du Pont. In 1986, du Pont hired two 1984 U.S. Olympic gold medalist wrestlers – Mark Schultz, played by Channing Tatum, and his older brother David Schultz, played by Mark Ruffalo – to help train American wrestlers to participate in Olympic competitions.
