Raza de campeones (The Boy in Blue) (1986)
Drama ambientado a finales del siglo XIX y basado en la historia real de Ned Hanlan, un delincuente juvenil que llega a convertirse en un remero de talla mundial. Al ver en él una oportunidad de hacer dinero fácil, Bill (David Haughton), aficionado a las apuestas, decide entrenar y promocionar a Hanlan en el mundo de las competiciones. Con el tiempo crece el talento de Hanlan y con él su fama, llegando a convertirse en campeón del mundo, cosechando premios en tres continentes y siendo el primer remero que utilizó con éxito el "asiento móvil". Pero todo se complica cuando Hanlan cae presa de un hombre de negocios sin escrúpulos (Christopher Plummer) que le enseñará el alto precio que, en ocasiones, hay que pagar por la fama.
