The World's Fastest Indian

2005 · TMDB 7.7

Directed by Roger Donaldson

The life story of New Zealander Burt Munro, who spent years building a 1920 Indian motorcycle—a bike which helped him set the land-speed world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967.

Why it matters

An elderly New Zealand motorcycle enthusiast travels to the Bonneville Salt Flats to set a land speed record on his vintage Indian Scout, and succeeds not by winning a race but by breaking a class record.
