这部电影几乎在纪录片的广度和深度上描绘了 70 年代在世界上最艰难的耐力赛道上的一场汽车比赛：法国勒芒。 比赛在 14.5 公里的封锁乡村公路上进行了 24 小时。 每隔几个小时，每辆车的两名司机就会轮换一次——但这仍然是对注意力和材料的挑战。 焦点是驾驶法拉利512LM的德国车手斯塔勒与驾驶海湾车队保时捷917的美国车手德莱尼的对决。德莱尼承受着非比寻常的压力，因为前年他引发了一场严重的车祸，好友丽莎的丈夫在车祸中丧生。

Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed.
