Without Limits

Without Limits is a 1998 biographical film about 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. The film is written and directed by Robert Towne. 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. Cruise originally wanted to play the role of Prefontaine, but it was decided he was too old. Tommy Lee Jones reportedly turned down the part of Bowerman.

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.
