Flanagan’s Run

In "Flanagan's Run," set during the Great Depression, charismatic entrepreneur Charles Flanagan organizes a daring race from Los Angeles to New York, gathering 2,000 runners to compete for a prize of $150,000. Covering 3,000 miles over three months, the runners must tackle grueling terrains, including the Mojave desert and the frozen Rockies, averaging 50 miles a day. As they push their limits, Flanagan faces opposition from the American sports establishment, which views the race as a threat to the upcoming 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. This epic tale celebrates the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
