Without Limits

Without Limits

Without Limits is a 1998 biographical sports film. It is written and directed by Robert Towne and follows the relationship between record-breaking distance runner Steve Prefontaine and his coach Bill Bowerman, who later co-founded Nike, Inc. Billy Crudup plays Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland plays Bowerman. It also stars Monica Potter, Jeremy Sisto, Judith Ivey, Matthew Lillard and William Mapother. Without Limits was produced by Tom Cruise (Cruise and Mapother are cousins) and Paula Wagner, and released and distributed by Warner Bros. Due to a very low-key promotional campaign, the $25 million film grossed only $777,000 at the box office, although it received good reviews from many major critics. Sutherland received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performances in the film.

Steve Prefontaine:
I don't want to win unless I know I've done my best, and the only way I know how to do that is to run out front, flat out until I have nothing left. Winning any other way is chicken-sh*t.

Steve Prefontaine:
I'd like to work it out so that at the end, it's a pure guts race. If it is, I'm the only one who can win it.

Steve Prefontaine:
I can endure more pain than anyone you've ever met. That's why I can beat anyone I've ever met.

Steve Prefontaine:
Bill, has it ever occurred to you that there's such a thing as overcoaching?

Bill Bowerman:
Yeah... I'm against it.

Mary Marckx:
You ran great in Munich.

Steve Prefontaine:
No, Viren ran great, I was fourth.

Bill Bowerman:
Know what your problem is, Pre? Vanity!

Steve Prefontaine:
Vanity?

Bill Bowerman:
Yes, vanity, Pre! Your belief that you have no talent is the ultimate vanity. If you have no talent then you have no limits, it's all an act of will. Your heart can probably pump more blood than anyone else's on earth, and that takes talent. The bones in your feet are so strong, it'd take a sledgehammer to break 'em. Be thankful for your limits, Pre, they're about as limitless as they get in this life.

Mary Marckx:
Do you believe in God?

Steve Prefontaine:
I believe in myself.

Steve Prefontaine:
It's the hardest thing in the world to believe in something, if you do it's a miracle.
