The story of four marathon runners and their preparations for the Olympics. One is a British runner with a highly demanding coach. Another is an American who participates, even though it might kill him. Another is a Czechoslovakian who competes for the glory of his country, and the final runner is an Australian Aborigine who competes not only as a way of leaving his meager existence, but as a way of showing the plight of his people.
