A rebellious youth (Sir Tom Courtenay), sentenced to a boy's reformatory for robbery, rises through the ranks from his prowess as a long distance runner. During his runs, memories of his life lead him to re-evaluate his privileged status as the Governor's (Sir Michael Redgrave's) prize runner. A famous quote "Running was always a big thing in our family, specially running away from the police"
