U.S. PREMIERE. Born 80 years ago in New Zealand, BRUCE MCLAREN overcame a childhood illness to realize his dream of becoming a racecar driver. Ultimately, his unfaltering commitment to himself, his family, and the art of racing has inspired generations of sports fans around the world. Acclaimed director ROGER DONALDSON (Thirteen Days, The World’s Fastest Indian) punctuates this fascinating story with first-hand accounts from racing luminaries EMERSON FITTIPALDI, ALASTAIR CALDWELL, MARIO ANDRETTI, DAN GURNEY, and SIR JACKIE STEWART, along with an unprecedented look into the McLaren family archives. The "favourite son" of two nations and one of motor racing’s greatest icons is a shining example of the human spirit.
