On May 25, 1935 at 3:15 p.m., Ohio State University Track and Field athlete Jesse Owens began what is widely regarded as the greatest 45 minutes in the history of sports. In less than one hour, Owens broke three world records and tied a fourth.
Race tells the story of just three years of Owens' life, which would be the most productive of his athletic career. In this exclusive Fandango Movieclips clip, Owens (Stephan James) begins his unparalleled performance at the Big 10 Championships with his world record-tying performance in the 100-yard dash (though over half of the official clocks timed him at the world record beating time of 9.3 seconds) and shows that Jesse was not just competing against other runners, but against the racial bigotry of the times.
