Which Olympic games are featured in the movie "Chariots of Fire"?

Chariots of Fire features the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. The 1981 film follows British runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell as they prepare for and compete at the Games of the VIII Olympiad, staged in France from May through July 1924.

Abrahams, a Jewish sprinter from England, wins the 100 metres, while Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian, wins the 400 metres after declining to run the 100 metres because its heats were scheduled on a Sunday. The film dramatizes parts of their rivalry and preparation, and some details were altered for storytelling. For example, Liddell had known about the Sunday scheduling well before traveling to Paris rather than discovering it at the last moment.

The Paris Games were also notable for the performances of Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi, who won five gold medals. Chariots of Fire won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and its electronic score by Vangelis became one of the most recognizable pieces of music associated with sport. The film is therefore about the Paris 1924 Olympics, not the later 1924 Winter Games.
