Did Chariots of Fire film refer to Roger Bannister?

No, "Chariots of Fire" does not directly refer to Roger Bannister. The film, released in 1981, focuses on the lives of two British athletes, Harold Abrahams and Eric LidDELL, who competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Bannister is known for being the first person to run a mile in under four minutes in 1954, which occurred long after the events depicted in the film. However, both Bannister and the athletes in "Chariots of Fire" share a common theme of determination and breaking barriers in athletic achievement.
