jeffmiho1 T @RT73016469 Aug 26 American classic! Name a better cycling movie, I dare you. Ok, maybe Rad, but for road cycling this is it. After you take your Sunday stroll, give this a spin.

Less depressing than Breaking Away. See more 08/17/2023 A very young Kevin Costner and David Grant are two brothers experiencing a great American pastime There’s a big bicycle competition called Hell of the West about to take place and Marcus and David are set out to make it to the end During this whole thing they come across some nice women but one of them is also severely ill It presents as an opportunity to patch things up between them before it’s too late Can either of them make it to the end of the competition and better themselves? They have to cycle through a treacherous trek of 91 miles in 7 laps in steep hills and blistering heat Kostner and Grant are perfect as the two bickering brothers being constantly being worried about their family’s troubled history of health, the bicycling scenes are well shot and edited, and the music is pure 1980s You feel the sense of adrenaline and suspense with all of these bicyclers racing against the elements This movie manages to bring together family drama and sports film elements together without it feeling like a run of the mill flick that’s quite common Good actors, exciting bike racing scenes, and just enough warmth In the end it’s all about bringing together our family values with a love for the sport See more Read all reviews
