This first half of her two-part film opens with a renowned introduction that compares modern Olympians to classical Greek heroes, then goes on to provide thrilling in-the-moment coverage of some of the games’ most celebrated moments, including African-American athlete Jesse Owens winning a then-unprecedented four gold medals.
