2005 Starring Anthony Hopkins. Based on a true story.Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) flies from his home in New Zealand, halfway around the world to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah with his Indian Scout motorcycle to "see how fast she'll go before I kick the bucket". It's 1967 and Burt, at 67 years, makes the record books at 183.586 mph. "Aren't you scared.......?" "No. You live more in 5 minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime".
Anthony Hopkins captures the true character of this Kiwi eccentric who follows his dreams, even while so many thought he'd never do it. It's an inspirational and charming movie that also highlights the warmth of the relationships between Burt and those who are captured by his single-minded pursuit of a dream.
