Marathon (2005)

Synopsis:
Rain Man meets Chariots of Fire in Jeong Yun Cheol's directorial debut
Marathon, the box office hit that critics have dubbed "the feel-good
movie of the year"! Also known by the alternative title Running Boy,
this poignant human drama stars Cho Seung Woo (The Classic, Raging Years)
as Cho Won, a twenty year old autistic man with a passion for running track.

Encouraged by his mom (television actress Kim Mi Sook in her first major
film role), Cho Won begins to participate in small-scale races at the local
level, all in preparation for the ultimate goal - competing in an actual
marathon! To help him achieve his dreams, Cho Won's mother finds her son a
track coach in the form of washed-up marathon champion Jeon Wook (The Quiet
Family's Lee Ki Young). But can the bitter coach overcome his personal
skepticism and give Cho Won the expert training he so desperately needs? The
answer awaits you in Marathon, a heartwarming film that explores one boy's
drive to succeed in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds!
