Storyline
Gino Bartali, a well-known Tour de France cyclist who lives in Mussolini's Italy, is presented with a choice between fame, riches, and saving hundreds of lives in the moving story of Glory Ride. As he exploits his cycling career to carry out covert missions across Italy, including one that involves hiding forged identification cards and documents in his bicycle frame to aid persecuted Jews and refugees during World War II, Bartali becomes a symbol of rescue and resistance. This compelling story combines humour and humanity and is set against the Tuscan countryside's gorgeous hills. Grab your Glory Ride tickets now!
