Inspirational Movie of the Month: Without Limits
Without Limits is a 1998 biographical film about the friendship between running star Steve Prefontaine and his coach Bill Bowerman,
who had co-founded Nike, Inc. Billy Crudup plays Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland plays Bowerman. The film was written and directed
by Robert Towne. The film also stars Monica Potter, Jeremy Sisto, Judith Ivey, Matthew Lillard and William Mapother.
Without Limits was produced by Tom Cruise (Cruise and Mapother are cousins) and Paula Wagner of Cruise/Wagner Productions, and
released and distributed by Warner Bros. Cruise originally wanted to play the role of Steve Prefontaine, but it was decided he
was too old. Tommy Lee Jones turned down the part of Bill Bowerman.
Due to a very low-key promotional campaign, the $25 million film grossed only $777,000 at the box office but received mostly good
reviews from major critics. Sutherland received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Why this movie is inspiring
This movie is the incredible story of life of Steve Prefontaine who broke numerous American records, just missed an Olympic medal,
and revolutionized the idea of how some people race (from the front) before dying in a tragic car wreck in his prime.
Prefontaine's story is worth relishing and remembering. Tom Cruise did a great job as produce and the movie talks about the birth and
foundation of Nike with Bill Bowerman (pre's coach) being behind this movie.
