At the Berlin 1936 Olympics, Hitler plans to show the world that the Aryan people are the dominant race, but Jesse Owens proves him wrong and seals his place in Olympic history by becoming the most successful athlete of the 1936 Games. Owens also becomes the first American to win four track and field gold medals at a single Olympics (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump), a record that will stand unbroken for 48 years.
