I hadn't seen this movie in 34 years. Coming to view this excellent, and obviously underrated film, just last week, I was once again reminded, how inspirational it was.
And this is what this solid told drama is, much more than say, a familiar film around, the same time, Heart Of A Champion, again based on truth. Billy Mills was the first Indian runner to win the Olympic Games, held in Japan, in 1964, and what a race he ran. Robby Benson was so good in this role, you almost can't imagine, or wouldn't wanna see him in anything else. It's a performance of such conviction, and you so like this character, who must overcome, racism, prejudice, and some unsavory remarks. He's not someone you wanna provoke. Pat Hingle did this film solid too, as one of the most stern and demanding sports managers I've seen, his small thank you, heartfelt compliment to Billy at the end, kind of short changes you,
but is expectant of this character, who epitomizes a hard unbending attitude towards giving it your all, on that track. Benson's female love interest, who became his wife, really put in a great performance too. This is one quite dramatic scene, that involved one of Billy's sorry sack relatives, who does himself in, and was quite an impactful moment. If anything, Not sure that this is fact, as if to spice the movie up. Running Brave is one of the most inspirational movies, it's reason being, it has one of the most inspirational characters in film, who has a thought provoking line about winning, which should be pondered by all.
I saw this movie when I was a kid. I busted out the old vhs player and watched it again. One of the most underrated films I've seen. Sure, some, and I mean some, of the acting isn't the greatest but the heart involved in this movie is amazing. Benson and Hingle hit the spot. The draft between those two and the acting is very well received and deserved. Uncle Frank (Denis Lacroix) is phenomenal as well as Graham Greene as Eddie. Graham Greene is always a fantastic treat to watch. Great screenplay and editing for an older movie. It was well worth it to bust out the old Panasonic VHS player to see this again!
Becoming an Olympic level athlete takes incredible work ethic, toughness, and resolve. The journey is painstaking and arduous. And that's if things go well. It is exponentially more painstaking and arduous when you are an American Indian in the 1960's finally leaving the reservation and entering a foreign world.
Billy Mills was that American Indian and he had what it took to become an Olympian. "Running Brave"--which is a play on words--is about Billy Mills' journey to becoming a gold medalist in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. It's almost serendipitous that I just watched this movie considering that the Olympics in about a half a year are again going to be in Tokyo.
Like any story of triumph this one had its ups and downs. Billy had his believers and detractors. If anything, this movie is a good tribute.

Based on the true story of Billy Mills, who went as an American Indian, in the 1950s on a running scholarship to college, then went on to become America's favorite runner, is one of the better inspirational sports movies.
Among the reservation you can spot actors who will later appear in Dances With Wolves, and the film is filled with good performances. The camera work is slightly dated now, but it the running that shines. Shot as a time when jogging was America's national sport this is one of the best running films out there - though not Chariots of Fire it does capture something of the spirit of cross-country and track.
All in all, if social justice and / or sports are your thing then you'll love this - it really is a good watch.

This would have to be one of the best true sporting stories ever created on the screen. Billy Mills is a Native American Indian who has to fight against the odds to get to the top. A gifted athlete who is very proud of his heritage works his way to the top and wins the 10,000 metres at the Tokyo Olympics. It highlights the ups and downs an American Indian must face to get recognition as a man and athlete. Robbie Benson seems to be born for the part. He portrays Mills very well to the extent that the running style is very alike. The actual race brings a chill to your spine, especially the way he finishes down the straight. This is a great Movie and any budding athlete should watch it just to see how to become a winner and win against all the odds.

Pat Mills: Are you really going to run in the Olympics?
Billy Mills: Sure, why?
Pat Mills: Oh, because everyone here says they'll do things and never do them. You're really doing something.
