The World’s Fastest Indian

A biographical sports drama film based on the Invercargill, New Zealand, speed bike racer Burt Munro and his highly modified 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle. Munro set numerous land speed records for motorcycles with engines less than 1,000 cc at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in the late 1950s and into the 1960s. The film stars Anthony Hopkins who has said in interviews that Burt Munro was one of the easiest roles that he has ever played in his career; simply because Munro’s view on life was very similar to his own. A warm and endearing portrayal of an age-defying thrill seeker.
