North America

"Along with the expected Battle of the Box Office Dinosaurs, every truly successful summer movie seasons needs an underdog, a modest movie that has the heart and soul most of the big budget blockbusters just don't seem to have.
This summer already has that film: The Flying Scotsman." John Black, Boston Now

"...this is an impressively directed, sharply written and superbly acted film that tells a fascinating and emotionally gripping story." Matthew Turner, mymovies.net

The Flying Scotsman - From a humble background in Ayrshire, Scotland, Graeme Obree (Jonny Lee Miller) always had to fight for survival. As a grown man, nothing had changed. When his beloved bicycle shop went bust, Graeme had neither the money nor the sponsorship necessary to realize his dream; to compete at the highest level of world cycling. But it was always clear from his complete passion for the sport and his many local wins that he was destined for greatness. With the unwavering support of his wife Anne (Laura Fraser) – despite the fact that they had recently had their first baby – and the help of his close friend and newly-appointed manager Malky (Billy Boyd), he persevered. With the use of the work shop (and occasional mentoring) of a friendly and peaceful minister, Baxter (Brian Cox) - and of course his racing bike ‘Old Faithful’ - Graeme was finally on his way to the Hamar Velodrome in Norway and the chance to go for the prestigious World Hour Record.

Now a motion-picture distributed by MGM, The Flying Scotsman opened in and around the following North American cities, Boston, Chicago, Houston, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Washington DC on 4th May 2007.
