Plot Synopsis

As Tokyo takes on the challenges of the 2020 Olympics, a classic vision of its 1964 predecessor, when the post-war city rose from the ashes onto the world stage. Originally offered to Kurosawa (who instead chose to direct the opening and closing), the film concentrates even more than its forerunner on the athletes and lives of the games rather than glorification of the event - to the disappointment of the Tokyo Olympic Committee who forced serious editing onto Ichikawa. Nonetheless, it remains one of the greatest sports movies of all time, and a beautiful as well as timely work on its own.
