A theatrical release was granted for this documentary, originally made as part of ESPN's 30 for 30 television series. 9.79* chronicles the 100m final of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, won by Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson only to have the gold medal stripped when he tested positive for banned substances. Interviews with all eight finalists reveal their staunch ambition, reactions, and still-simmering rivalries.
