Handlung
Dokumentation über die Olympischen Spiele 1936 in Berlin. Ein Fackelläufer entzündet die Flamme am antiken Altar in Olympia und trägt das ewige Feuer durch sieben Länder bis ins Stadion nach Berlin: Die XI. Olympischen Spiele haben begonnen. Bilder der Eröffnungsfeier leiten zu den Wettkämpfen über. Die sechs schnellsten Läufer der damaligen Zeit sind am Start. Jede Sekunde der nervösen Anspannung ist zu spüren … Mit bemerkenswertem Aufwand und technischer Raffinesse dokumentiert Leni Riefenstahl dramatische Höhepunkte und kleinste Details der verschiedenen Disziplinen.
