Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins), New Zealander extraordinaire, rebuilt his 1920 Indian again and again, racing it and turning it into the world’s fastest street bike under 1000 cc. With the help of his friends and the many weird and wonderful Americans he meets along the way, he’s able to race at Bonneville and sets a new world’s record. He did this 9 times. He’s actually quite an arrogant guy (see the feature, a documentary about him, on the DVD) and the film is quite compressed in its time frame. Some of the stuff is right, other parts are just plain manufactured. Still, it was fun to watch and Hopkins is good, if it’s not as good as some said
