Movie Reviews of The Jericho Mile [Region 2]
Movie Review: One of the best all-time movies about running.
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the Jericho Mile when it was broadcast in 1979, my senior year of high school, and I have watched it countless times over the years. I have an old grainy VHS recording that I bring out every once in a while when I want to be inspired about running, but I always end up being inspired about relationships, freedom and life in general. To me, one of the most moving parts was when Strauss' character initiates a fight to the death vs the black gang when he clearly has no chance of survival. After being beat to a pulp, his explanation of why he was fighting was a moment that was so shocking and sad that the vicious gang let him live. His reason, though sad, at the same time offered hope. Hope for enduring friendship, hope for race-relations, hope for the human spirit.
As the film's title implies, the inner spirit of this man, which drives him to run, has also shattered mighty barriers.
The theme music is awesome, and it still rings in my head at age 49 when I step outside to run a (not so) quick-paced mile or two...

While his form and speed capture the attention of prison officials who believe he could be competitive for the Olympics, Murphy expresses disinterest. But when the one man he has befriended is taken advantage of by political groups within the prison, Murphy decides to pursue the opportunity presented to him in his memory. This action not only has profound changes on him, but also on the atmosphere of the inmates in the prison and their outlook on the accomplishments he can make.
