This 1994 production last 47 minutes and is similar to The Supermilers in that it outlines the careers of the men who have brought the World Record in the mile under four minutes from Roger Bannister in 1954 to Nourredine Morceli in 1993. Three to four minutes are spent talking to each man and a portion of their World Record performance is shown. Some of the athletes describe their race that day, others focus on their training, personal influences, or Olympic dreams. Clearly, by achieving their goals of lowering the mile mark, the event was profound. As John Walker states, "That night changed my life". The narrator for this video was John Hurt, Neil Duncanson was the executive producer, Patrick Collins did the writing, and Steve Hitchcock provided the musical score.
