Интересные факты

Finish Line is a 1989 American made-for-television sports drama film starring real-life father and son James and Josh Brolin. The movie also features Stephen Lang as a hard-driving track coach and an early appearance by Mariska Hargitay as a student reporter. It was originally broadcast on the then-new TNT on January 11, 1989.

Background

During Finish Line's production, Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson was disqualified from the competition for using steroids in what became a major scandal that made national news. Although the film was in the works before this scandal, its unfolding throughout the news brought the film inevitable timeliness.

The film was the first time the two Brolins had worked together. Its producers originally wanted to film at the University of Oregon but were turned down. They ended up filming in several locations across Oregon, including Corvallis.
