Dir. RJ Daniel Hanna, US, 2024, 109 mins. Cast. Sean Astin, Matthew Modine, Jackson Kelly.
Based on a true story, this uplifting drama touches on challenging issues such as mental health and domestic abuse as a social worker takes a team of incarcerated teenagers on an inspiring 1000 mile bike ride.
Hard Miles tells the uplifting true story of the bicycling team at Rite of Passage's Ridge View Academy, a medium-security correctional school in Colorado. The film follows beleaguered coach Greg Townsend (Modine) as he rounds up an unlikely crew of incarcerated students for a seemingly impossible bike ride from Denver to the Grand Canyon. As the beginner bicyclists battle heatstroke, speed wobbles, and the greatest enemy of all cyclists – a chafed crotch – they must learn to stop fighting and ride together as a peloton. The bicycle serves not just as a means of transportation, but as a test; a way for each of these young men to see what they are truly capable of, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
