Graeme Obree

In 1993, amateur cyclist Graeme Obree’s unusual riding position and homemade bike earned him a maverick status, but little success. 'Obree' chronicles his remarkable final attempt at cycling glory that year. Blocking his path is the establishment darling Chris Boardman, whose eyes are also firmly fixed on the same feats.

Addicted to breaking records, this former world champion puts his mind and body on the line one last time. 20 years after his last world record he is in the American desert looking for purpose and salvation on a speed machine he built in his Scottish kitchen. Will his ageing body and fragile psyche cope with the pressure he will find on Nevada's State Route 305?
