The World's Fastest Indian

Presented by the Long Island Chapter of the Harley Owners Group Fundraiser for LI Veterans at Stony Brook Hospital
Anthony Hopkins stars as Burt Munro, a man who never let the dreams of youth fade. In the late 1960's, after a lifetime of perfecting his 1920 Indian Twin Scout motorcycle, Burt sets off from the bottom of the world, Invercargill, New Zealand, to clock his bike at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. With all odds against him, Burt puts his irrepressible kiwi spirit to the test, braving the new world on a shoestring budget. He makes fast friends of many he encountersalong the way who find themselves swept up in his energy and singular determination. It follows the road to fulfilling a dream and the magic in the true story of a man who believed, "If it's hard, work harder; if it's impossible, work harder still. Give it whatever it takes, but do it." Burt's quest culminates in an unlikely conclusion and remains legendary within the motorcycle community to this day.
