Eight noted directors document the Olympic games that took place at Munich in 1972. Included are segments by: Arthur Penn, who recorded the pole vaulting competition; Kon Ichikawa, who filmed the 100-meter dash featuring portions in extreme slow motion; Claude Lelouch, who documented a segment dealing with the losers of various competitions; Mai Zetterling, who directed the portion on the weightlifting competition; Michael Pfleghar who covered gymnastics and women participating in the Olympics; and John Schlesinger, who chronicled the twenty-six-mile marathon race from the point of view of one of the British competitors.

Let's face it, there are definitely better movies made about the Olympics. This one is so disjointed and doesn't really bring much to the table. Every now and then, you'll be entertained a bit, you might marvel at how great the human body can look, but otherwise, you're watching a film without much excitement, where the Olympic action doesn't really grip you.
