Really Peter Strauss steals every scene there and in the playing lifer Larry "Rain" Murphy who is sentenced for killing his abusive stepfather after molesting his sister sexually.
Prefer being alone and has nothing in his cell to play it hard and deserves it and would do it again he tells a crowd of Olympic and prison authorities.
He only has one thing and running and how that he gets their attention there. And in the respect of his prison comrades later on. Knowing that he has a chance for Olympic glory despite his predicament.
Strauss is in every single scene there. Both with the late Ed Lauter as the track coach and the late Geoffrey Lewis as a psychologist who tries to let him open up about his past.
Brilliant all around!
