The World's Fastest Indian
Drama127 min
Anthony Hopkins is Burt Munro, a New Zealander who spends years rebuilding a 1920 Indian motorcycle in his shed, then takes the homemade machine to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats in the 1960s to chase a land-speed mark. Based on Munro’s life, the film follows the work behind the dream as closely as the trip itself: scavenged parts, improvised engineering, travel setbacks, and the people he meets on the long road from New Zealand to the American desert. Hopkins’s Burt is an older racer with modest means, stubborn focus, and a bike that looks as hand-built as his plan.
