Sacred Ground

The World's Fastest Indian is the true story of Burt Munro, a New Zealander who set several land-speed records in the 1960s riding an early-century Indian motorcycle. The movie traces his difficult journey from a tool shed in New Zealand to the salt flats of Utah where speed records are attempted.
In one scene, Munro (Anthony Hopkins) arrives at the salt flats with a hitchhiker named Rusty. Getting out of his car he looks at the barren landscape in awe. "All my life, I've wanted to do something big—something bigger and better than all the other jokers. This is it: Bonneville. This is the place where big things happen. Do you realise, Rusty, the fastest that man has ever gone on land is here? Right here, where we are now.
"Malcolm Campbell did it here with Bluebird—first guy to go over 300 miles an hour. And then later, his son Donald came here with Proteus. He crashed at 350 miles an hour and lived to tell the tale. John Cobb was here—first guy to go over 400 miles an hour. All the great attempts: George Easton with Thunderbolt, Mickey Thompson with Challenger … "
Munro takes in a deep breath as tears well up in his eyes. With a voice full of emotion, he says: "I'm telling you, Rusty, this place is holy ground, mate. Holy ground. And I made it here."
