The 1981  film that  immortalized one of the Achilles Club's founding members, Evelyn Aubrey Montague, was based on the true story of Christian athlete 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".
