The World's Fastest Indian

In my opinion, this is one of Anthony Hopkin's best performances. It's based on a true story of a New Zealander called Burt Munro, who spent 25 years working on an old motorbike (1920's Indian) that he hoped would break the land speed record held at a convention in Utah on the salt flats. With a threatening heart condition, very little money and his makeshift invention (no breaks, old tyres..) he travels across the world and competes against hundreds of hi-tech creations. There are some awful moments when you think they will just turn him away or it's all going to go wrong and it's an extraordinary adventure of courage and perseverance.

Below are some genuine images from the Burt Munro site;
