Ein Mann kämpft allein (1980)
Der zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilte Rain Murphy verbringt seine Tage im Zuchthaus in einer sich selbst auferlegten Isolation. Seine einzige Aktivität beschränkt sich auf das Laufen. Der Gefängnispsychologe Janowski entdeckt, dass Murphy einer der schnellsten Läufer der Welt zu sein scheint. Diese Entdeckung veranlasst ihn, sich beim Gefängnisdirektor für Murphy einzusetzen, damit dieser an Laufwettbewerben teilnehmen kann. Erst nach dem Tod eines Freundes erwacht Murphy aus seiner Lethargie und nimmt das Angebot, bei Wettkämpfen zu starten, an. Bald glaubt das ganze Gefängnis, dass Murphy eine Chance hat, bei den Olympischen Spielen anzutreten. So fängt Murphy langsam an, die Teilnahme an den Olympischen Spielen vor Augen, die Mauern einzureißen, die er um sich herum errichtet hat...
