Abrahams takes it poorly, but <a href="/wiki/Sam_Mussabini" title="Sam Mussabini">Sam Mussabini</a>, a professional trainer he had approached earlier, offers to take him on to improve his technique. This attracts criticism from the Cambridge college masters, who assert that it isn't gentlemanly for an amateur to "play the tradesman" by employing a professional coach. Abrahams dismisses this concern, interpreting it as cover for antisemitic and class-based prejudice. When Liddell accidentally misses a church prayer meeting because of his running, Jennie upbraids him and accuses him of no longer caring about God. Eric tells her that though he intends to return eventually to the China mission, he feels divinely inspired when running and that not to run would be to dishonour God. After years training and racing, the two athletes are accepted to represent Great Britain in the <a href="/wiki/1924_Summer_Olympics" title="1924 Summer Olympics">1924 Olympics</a> in Paris. Also accepted are Abrahams's Cambridge friends, Andrew Lindsay, <a href="/wiki/Aubrey_Montague" class="mw-redirect" title="Aubrey Montague">Aubrey Montague</a>, and <a href="/wiki/H._B._Stallard" title="H. B. Stallard">Henry Stallard</a>. While boarding the boat to France for the Olympics, Liddell discovers the heats for his 100-metre race will be on a Sunday. Despite intense pressure from the <a href="/wiki/Edward_VIII_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward VIII of the United Kingdom">Prince of Wales</a> and the <a href="/wiki/British_Olympic_Committee" class="mw-redirect" title="British Olympic Committee">British Olympic Committee</a>, he refuses to run the race because his Christian convictions prevent him from running on the <a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Day" title="Lord's Day">Lord's Day</a>. A solution is found thanks to Liddell's teammate Lindsay, who, having already won a silver medal in the <a href="/wiki/400_metres_hurdles" title="400 metres hurdles">400 metres hurdles</a>, offers to give his place in the <a href="/wiki/400_metres" title="400 metres">400-metre race</a> on the following Thursday to Liddell, who gratefully accepts. Liddell's religious convictions in the face of national athletic pride make headlines around the world; he delivers a sermon at the Paris <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Scotland" title="Church of Scotland">Church of Scotland</a> that Sunday, and quotes from <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Isaiah#Chapter_40" class="extiw" title="wikisource:Bible (King James)/Isaiah">Isaiah 40</a>. Abrahams is badly beaten by the heavily favoured United States runners in the 200-metre race. He knows his last chance for a medal will be the 100 metres. He competes in the race and wins. His coach Mussabini, who was barred from the stadium, is overcome that the years' dedication and training have paid off with an Olympic gold medal. Now Abrahams can get on with his life and reunite with his girlfriend Sybil, whom he has neglected for the sake of running. Before Liddell's race, the American coach remarks dismissively to his runners that Liddell has little chance of doing well in his new, far longer, 400-metre race. But one of the American runners, <a href="/wiki/Jackson_Scholz" title="Jackson Scholz">Jackson Scholz</a>, hands Liddell a note of support that quotes <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://bible.oremus.org/?passage=1%20Samuel%202:30&version=nrsv">1 Samuel 2:30</a>. Liddell defeats the American favourites and wins the gold medal. The British team returns home triumphant. A textual <a href="/wiki/Epilogue" title="Epilogue">epilogue</a> reveals that Abrahams married Sybil and became the elder statesman of British athletics while Liddell went on to do missionary work and was mourned by all of Scotland following his death in <a href="/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War" title="Second Sino-Japanese War">Japanese-occupied China</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast </h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chariots_of_Fire&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ben_Cross" title="Ben Cross">Ben Cross</a> as <a href="/wiki/Harold_Abrahams" title="Harold Abrahams">Harold Abrahams</a>, a Jewish student at Cambridge University</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ian_Charleson" title="Ian Charleson">Ian Charleson</a> as <a href="/wiki/Eric_Liddell" title="Eric Liddell">Eric Liddell</a>, the son of Scottish missionaries to China</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nigel_Havers" title="Nigel Havers">Nigel Havers</a> as Lord Andrew Lindsay, a Cambridge student runner (partially based on <a href="/wiki/David_Cecil,_6th_Marquess_of_Exeter" title="David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter">David Burghley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Lowe_(athlete)" title="Douglas Lowe (athlete)">Douglas Lowe</a>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Farrell" title="Nicholas Farrell">Nicholas Farrell</a> as <a href="/wiki/Aubrey_Montague" class="mw-redirect" title="Aubrey Montague">Aubrey Montague</a>, a runner and friend of Harold Abrahams</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ian_Holm" title="Ian Holm">Ian Holm</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sam_Mussabini" title="Sam Mussabini">Sam Mussabini</a>, Abrahams' running coach</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Gielgud" title="John Gielgud">John Gielgud</a> as Master of <a href="/wiki/Trinity_College,_Cambridge" title="Trinity College, Cambridge">Trinity College</a> at Cambridge University</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lindsay_Anderson" title="Lindsay Anderson">Lindsay Anderson</a> as Master of <a href="/wiki/Caius_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Caius College">Caius College</a> at Cambridge University</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cheryl_Campbell" title="Cheryl Campbell">Cheryl Campbell</a> as Jennie Liddell, Eric's devout sister</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alice_Krige" title="Alice Krige">Alice Krige</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sybil_Gordon" title="Sybil Gordon">Sybil Gordon</a>, a <a href="/wiki/D%27Oyly_Carte_Opera_Company" title="D'Oyly Carte Opera Company">D'Oyly Carte</a> soprano and Abrahams's fiancée (his actual fiancée was <a href="/wiki/Sybil_Evers" title="Sybil Evers">Sybil Evers</a>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Struan_Rodger" title="Struan Rodger">Struan Rodger</a> as Sandy McGrath, Liddell's friend and running coach</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nigel_Davenport" title="Nigel Davenport">Nigel Davenport</a> as <a href="/wiki/F._E._Smith,_1st_Earl_of_Birkenhead" title="F.

Vangelis finally convinced Hudson he could create a new and better piece for the film's main theme – and when he played the "Chariots of Fire" theme for Hudson, it was agreed the new tune was unquestionably better.<a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> The "L'Enfant" melody still made it into the film: when the athletes reach Paris and enter the stadium, a brass band marches through the field, and first plays a modified, acoustic performance of the piece.<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a> Vangelis's electronic "L'Enfant" track eventually was used prominently in the 1982 film <a href="/wiki/The_Year_of_Living_Dangerously_(film)" title="The Year of Living Dangerously (film)">The Year of Living Dangerously</a>. Some pieces of Vangelis's music in the film did not end up on the film's soundtrack album. One of them is the background music to the race Eric Liddell runs in the Scottish highlands. This piece is a version of "Hymne", the original version of which appears on Vangelis's 1979 album, <a href="/wiki/Op%C3%A9ra_sauvage" title="Opéra sauvage">Opéra sauvage</a>. Various versions are also included on Vangelis's compilation albums <a href="/wiki/Themes_(Vangelis_album)" title="Themes (Vangelis album)">Themes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Portraits_(So_Long_Ago,_So_Clear)" title="Portraits (So Long Ago, So Clear)">Portraits</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Odyssey:_The_Definitive_Collection" title="Odyssey: The Definitive Collection">Odyssey: The Definitive Collection</a>, though none of these include the version used in the film. Five lively <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_and_Sullivan" title="Gilbert and Sullivan">Gilbert and Sullivan</a> tunes also appear in the soundtrack, and serve as jaunty period music which counterpoints Vangelis's modern electronic score. These are: "He is an Englishman" from <a href="/wiki/H.M.S._Pinafore" title="H.M.S. Pinafore">H.M.S. Pinafore</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Three_Little_Maids_From_School_Are_We" class="mw-redirect" title="Three Little Maids From School Are We">Three Little Maids From School Are We</a>" from <a href="/wiki/The_Mikado" title="The Mikado">The Mikado</a>, "With Catlike Tread" from <a href="/wiki/The_Pirates_of_Penzance" title="The Pirates of Penzance">The Pirates of Penzance</a>, "The Soldiers of Our Queen" from <a href="/wiki/Patience_(opera)" title="Patience (opera)">Patience</a>, and "There Lived a King" from <a href="/wiki/The_Gondoliers" title="The Gondoliers">The Gondoliers</a>. The film also incorporates a major traditional work: "<a href="/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time" title="And did those feet in ancient time">Jerusalem</a>", sung by a British choir at the 1978 funeral of Harold Abrahams.

The character of Lindsay was based partially on <a href="/wiki/David_Cecil,_6th_Marquess_of_Exeter" title="David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter">David Cecil (Lord Burghley)</a>, a significant figure in the history of British athletics. Although Burghley did attend Cambridge, he was not a contemporary of Harold Abrahams, as Abrahams was an undergraduate from 1919 to 1923 and Burghley was at Cambridge from 1923 to 1927. One scene in the film depicts the Burghley-based "Lindsay" as practising hurdles on his estate with full champagne glasses placed on each hurdle – this was something the wealthy Burghley did, although he used matchboxes instead of champagne glasses.<a href="#cite_note-rw-15">[14]</a> Burghley was not willing to be involved in the film and the fictional character of Lindsay was created when <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Lowe_(athlete)" title="Douglas Lowe (athlete)">Douglas Lowe</a>, who was Britain's third athletics gold medallist in the 1924 Olympics, also declined.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChapman2005275,_295-63">[60]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cross_and_Havers.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Cross_and_Havers.jpg/220px-Cross_and_Havers.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="170" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Cross_and_Havers.jpg/330px-Cross_and_Havers.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/Cross_and_Havers.jpg 2x" data-file-width="358" data-file-height="277" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Harold_Abrahams" title="Harold Abrahams">Abrahams</a> (left) and the <a href="/wiki/David_Cecil,_6th_Marquess_of_Exeter" title="David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter">Burghley</a>-based Lindsay (right) attempt the <a href="/wiki/Trinity_Great_Court#The_Great_Court_Run" class="mw-redirect" title="Trinity Great Court">Great Court Run</a>.</figcaption></figure> Another scene in the film recreates the <a href="/wiki/Trinity_Great_Court#The_Great_Court_Run" class="mw-redirect" title="Trinity Great Court">Great Court Run</a>, in which the runners attempt to run around the perimeter of the <a href="/wiki/Trinity_Great_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Trinity Great Court">Great Court</a> at <a href="/wiki/Trinity_College,_Cambridge" title="Trinity College, Cambridge">Trinity College, Cambridge</a> in the time it takes the clock to strike 12 at midday. The film shows Abrahams performing the feat for the first time in history. In fact, Abrahams never attempted this race, and at the time of filming the only person on record known to have succeeded was <a href="/wiki/David_Cecil,_6th_Marquess_of_Exeter" title="David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter">Lord Burghley</a>, in 1927. In Chariots of Fire, Lindsay, who is based on Lord Burghley, runs the Great Court Run with Abrahams in order to spur him on, and crosses the finish line just a moment too late. Since the film's release, the Great Court Run has also been successfully run by Trinity undergraduate Sam Dobin, in October 2007.<a href="#cite_note-64">[61]</a> In the film, Eric Liddell is tripped up by a Frenchman in the 400-metre event of a Scotland–France international athletic meeting. He recovers, makes up a 20-metre deficit, and wins. This was based on fact; the actual race was the 440 yards at a Triangular Contest meet between Scotland, England, and Ireland at <a href="/wiki/Stoke-on-Trent" title="Stoke-on-Trent">Stoke-on-Trent</a> in England in July 1923. His achievement was remarkable as he had already won the 100- and 220-yard events that day.<a href="#cite_note-65">[62]</a> Also unmentioned with regard to Liddell is that it was he who introduced Abrahams to <a href="/wiki/Sam_Mussabini" title="Sam Mussabini">Sam Mussabini</a>.<a href="#cite_note-66">[63]</a> This is alluded to: in the film, Abrahams first encounters Mussabini while he is watching Liddell race. Abrahams and Liddell did race against each other twice, but not as depicted in the film, which shows Liddell winning the final of the 100 yards against a shattered Abrahams at the 1923 AAA Championship at Stamford Bridge. In fact, they raced only in a heat of the 220 yards, which Liddell won, five yards ahead of Abrahams, who did not progress to the final. In the 100 yards, Abrahams was eliminated in the heats and did not race against Liddell, who won the finals of both races the next day. They also raced against each other in the 200 m final at the 1924 Olympics, and this was also not shown in the film.<a href="#cite_note-67">[64]</a> Abrahams' fiancée is misidentified as <a href="/wiki/Sybil_Gordon" title="Sybil Gordon">Sybil Gordon</a>, a soprano with the <a href="/wiki/D%27Oyly_Carte_Opera_Company" title="D'Oyly Carte Opera Company">D'Oyly Carte Opera Company</a>. In fact, in 1936, Abrahams married <a href="/wiki/Sybil_Evers" title="Sybil Evers">Sybil Evers</a>, who also performed with D'Oyly Carte, but they did not meet until 1934.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERyan2012188-68">[65]</a> Also, in the film, Sybil is depicted as singing the role of Yum-Yum in <a href="/wiki/The_Mikado" title="The Mikado">The Mikado</a>, but neither Gordon nor Evers ever sang that role with D'Oyly Carte,<a href="#cite_note-69">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[67]</a> although Evers was known for her charm in singing Peep-Bo, one of the two other "little maids from school".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERyan2012188-68">[65]</a> Harold Abrahams' love of and heavy involvement with <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_and_Sullivan" title="Gilbert and Sullivan">Gilbert and Sullivan</a>, as depicted in the film, is factual.<a href="#cite_note-hudson-16">[15]</a> Liddell's sister was several years younger than she was portrayed in the film. Her disapproval of Liddell's track career was creative licence; she actually fully supported his sporting work. Jenny Liddell Somerville cooperated fully with the making of the film and has a brief cameo in the Paris <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Scotland" title="Church of Scotland">Church of Scotland</a> during Liddell's sermon.<a href="#cite_note-71">[68]</a> At the memorial service for Harold Abrahams, which opens the film, Lord Lindsay mentions that he and <a href="/wiki/Aubrey_Montague" class="mw-redirect" title="Aubrey Montague">Aubrey Montague</a> are the only members of the 1924 Olympic team still alive. However, Montague died in 1948, 30 years before Abrahams' death. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Paris_Olympics_1924">Paris Olympics 1924</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chariots_of_Fire&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Paris Olympics 1924">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Great_Britain_at_the_1924_Summer_Olympics" title="Great Britain at the 1924 Summer Olympics">Great Britain at the 1924 Summer Olympics</a></div> In the film, the 100m bronze medallist is a character called "Tom Watson"; the real medallist was <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Porritt,_Baron_Porritt" title="Arthur Porritt, Baron Porritt">Arthur Porritt</a> of New Zealand, who refused permission for his name to be used in the film, allegedly out of modesty, and his wish was accepted by the film's producers, even though his permission was not necessary.<a href="#cite_note-72">[69]</a> However, the brief back-story given for Watson, who is called up to the New Zealand team from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Oxford" title="University of Oxford">University of Oxford</a>, substantially matches Porritt's history. With the exception of Porritt, all the runners in the 100m final are identified correctly when they line up for inspection by the Prince of Wales. Jackson Scholz is depicted as handing Liddell an inspirational Bible-quotation message before the 400 metres final: "It says in the Old Book, 'He that honors me, I will honor.' Good luck."<a href="#cite_note-73">[70]</a> In reality, the note was from members of the British team, and was handed to Liddell before the race by his attending masseur at the team's Paris hotel.<a href="#cite_note-reid-74">[71]</a> For dramatic purposes, screenwriter Welland asked Scholz if he could be depicted handing the note, and Scholz readily agreed, saying "Yes, great, as long as it makes me look good."<a href="#cite_note-hudson-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-75">[72]</a> The events surrounding Liddell's refusal to race on a Sunday were changed for dramatic purposes. In the film, he does not learn that the 100-metre heat is to be held on the Christian Sabbath until he is boarding the boat to Paris. In fact, the schedule was made public several months in advance; Liddell did, however, face immense pressure to run on that Sunday and to compete in the 100 metres, and was called before a grilling by the British Olympic Committee, the Prince of Wales, and other <a href="/wiki/Grandee" title="Grandee">grandees</a>;<a href="#cite_note-hudson-16">[15]</a> his refusal to run made headlines around the world.<a href="#cite_note-76">[73]</a> The decision to change races was, even so, made well before embarking to Paris, and Liddell spent the intervening months training for the 400 metres, an event in which his times were modest by international standards. Liddell's success in the Olympic 400m was thus largely unexpected. The film depicts Lindsay, having already won a medal in the 400-metre hurdles, giving up his place in the 400-metre race for Liddell. In fact, <a href="/wiki/David_Burghley" class="mw-redirect" title="David Burghley">Burghley</a>, on whom Lindsay is loosely based, was eliminated in the heats of the 110 hurdles (he went on to win a gold medal in the 400-metre hurdles at the 1928 Olympics), and was not entered for the 400 metres. The film reverses the order of Abrahams' 100m and 200m races at the Olympics. In reality, after winning the 100 metres race, Abrahams ran the <a href="/wiki/200_metres" title="200 metres">200 metres</a> but finished last, <a href="/wiki/Jackson_Scholz" title="Jackson Scholz">Jackson Scholz</a> taking the gold medal. In the film, before his triumph in the 100m, Abrahams is shown losing the 200m and being scolded by Mussabini. During the following scene in which Abrahams speaks with his friend Montague while receiving a massage from Mussabini, a French newspaper clipping shows Scholz and <a href="/wiki/Charley_Paddock" title="Charley Paddock">Charley Paddock</a> with a headline stating that the 200 metres was a triumph for the United States. In the same conversation, Abrahams laments getting "beaten out of sight" in the 200. The film thus has Abrahams overcoming the disappointment of losing the 200 by going on to win the 100, a reversal of the real order. Eric Liddell actually also ran in the 200m race, and finished third, behind Paddock and Scholz. This was the only time in reality that Liddell and Abrahams competed in the same finals race. While their meeting in the 1923 <a href="/wiki/Amateur_Athletic_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Amateur Athletic Association">AAA</a> Championship in the film was fictitious, Liddell's record win in that race did spur Abrahams to train even harder.<a href="#cite_note-77">[74]</a> Abrahams also won a silver medal as an opening runner for the <a href="/wiki/4_x_100_metres_relay" class="mw-redirect" title="4 x 100 metres relay">4 x 100 metres relay</a> team, not shown in the film, and <a href="/wiki/Aubrey_Montague" class="mw-redirect" title="Aubrey Montague">Aubrey Montague</a> placed sixth in the <a href="/wiki/Steeplechase_(athletics)" title="Steeplechase (athletics)">steeplechase</a>, as depicted.<a href="#cite_note-aubrey-62">[59]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="London_Olympics'_2012_revival">London Olympics' 2012 revival</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chariots_of_Fire&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: London Olympics' 2012 revival">edit</a>]</div> Chariots of Fire became a recurring theme in promotions for the <a href="/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics" title="2012 Summer Olympics">2012 Summer Olympics</a> in London.
