 Brief synopsis
The Flying Scotsman is based on the remarkable true story of Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree who
stunned the international cycling world in 1993 when, as an unemployed amateur, he smashed the world one-hour record on his own revolutionary bicycle design - which he constructed out of scrap metal and parts of a washing machine.
