In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) set records with his customized Indian Scout motorcycle at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. But perhaps more amazing than this jaw-dropping land speed of 183.586 mph was the fact that he was a 67-year-old grandfather. Based on a true story, this drama is the second pairing for Hopkins and writer-director Ronald Donaldson (Cocktail, Thirteen Days), who also worked together on The Bounty (1984).
