Factual errors: The scene on the evening before the record attempt, we see Donald Campbell picking up the phone and calling his wife. This was not correct. In fact, it was his wife who telephoned him. First she tried (through the operator) to reach him at the hotel, but he was not there. He was in the boathouse. So the operator connects her there. However, before the operator puts her through, he wishes Donald "good luck"for tomorrow. moreFAQ

The true story of Donald Campbell who pursues the world water speed record as his father, Sir Malcolm had chased and won the land speed record.
Despite many premonitions of death there's little drama in this treatment due to a mediocre script.
However Hopkins is magnetic in the lead and England's Lake District looks spectacular.
Incidentally his vessel, Bluebird is an extremely modern-looking craft!
