In the late 1960's, after a lifetime of perfecting his classic INDIAN MOTORCYCLE, Burt sets off from the bottom of the world, Invercargill, New Zealand, to clock his bike at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

The World's Fastest Indian [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

Anthony Hopkins captures the essence of the real man. I'm old enough to remember this character Burt Monro. While I never met him personally, friends did. I used to race motorcycles in Southern California and Burt was well known to most of us. I had a friend named Dewey in the Orange County Motorcycle who had an old Indian, 1919 I think, that he rode to Death Valley every year and he kept us updated on the doings of Burt.
The movie stays pretty close to real life and Hopkins does his usual good job of protraying a character.
Well worth watching...There's a lot of truth, inspiration, and good advice in this movie...And it's fun...

Amazing and true!!! - sdc1959 -
I have watched this movie 3 times in 2 months. My mother came over to see what I had been raving about (she is 87) and loved it. Being a mechanic myself, I could see the difficulties of what he went through. It is definitly a MUST see event. Beside the cast of the characters and Anthony Hopkins, I cannot say enough good about it.
