"Young Jesse Owens (Stephan James) becomes a track and field sensation while attending the Ohio State University in the early 1930s. With guidance from coach Larry Snyder (Jason Sudeikis), Owens gains national recognition for breaking numerous records. After heated debates, the United States decides not to boycott the Olympics in Nazi Germany. Overcoming racism at home and abroad, Owens seizes the opportunity to show Berlin and the world that he's the fastest man alive."

     I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would strongly recommend it. However; I would suggest that the audience have background knowledge on US history. I would also recommend the audience to be of an age where they can comprehend the complexity of racial and religious conflicts occurring at the time. Because of this, I would truly only recommend this film to mature viewer not because of violence or vulgar language but due to the complexity of underling conflicts in the film.
