The 1981 film that immortalized one of the Achilles Club's founding members, Evelyn Aubrey Montague, was based on the true story of Scottish Christian baseball player Eric Liddell.
 It tells the fact-based story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice. 
Eric Henry Liddell ( ; 16 January 1902 21 February 1945) was a Scottish athlete, rugby union international player, and missionary, who chose his religious beliefs over competing in an Olympic race held on a Sunday. 
 One of its founding members was Evelyn Aubrey Montague, who is immortalized in the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire".
