The father and son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt, who participated for over 30 years together in the Boston Marathon, provided the spark for The Finishers, a film set in picturesque southern France that screens the evening before the Boston Marathon.Like Rick Hoyt, the film’s determined main character is wheelchair bound due to cerebral palsy. After pestering his unemployed father to compete in an Ironman contest for some time, the son finally convinces him, and they begin a grueling training program that reaps unexpected rewards.
