The true story of racing jockey Bob Champion (played here by John Hurt), who discovered he had cancer while at the height of his career. He began an intensive course of chemo-therapy, and clawed his way back to health to win the Grand National. What makes this story all the more remarkable is the fact that Champion's horse Aldaniti was simultaneously recovering from an injury so serious that at one point it was thought the horse would never race again.

CHAMPIONS dvd with John Hurt
An excellent film - I've not watched this for some years but what a great film it is! The music alone is enough to have the hairs on the back of your next standing up! Superb throughout. Even the, perhaps difficult, scenes where Bob Champion is going thru the cancer treatment are riveting and you just can't help but be rooting for both Bob and Aldeniti at the end! A marvellous film and the time just flew - an example of a film that draws you in, keeps you enthralled and has a 'feel good' ending! I would recommend this to anyone!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
