The World’s Fastest Indian ()

Plot
Having spent years custom-building a classic 1920 Indian motorcycle, New Zealand amateur engineer Burt Munro (Hopkins) makes a round-the-world voyage to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, where in 1967 — against all odds — the eccentric old coot sets the world land-speed record.

Verdict
A wonderfully uplifting and charming biopic that’s sure to win over all but the most mean-spirited. And the motorbike races really rocket, too.
