Downhill Racer (1969)

Downhill Racer (1969) is a landmark American sports film, blending New Hollywood realism with European art-cinema style. Its stark take on ambition and competition helped redefine the sports drama and solidified Robert Redford’s image as a complex, modern antihero.

This rare US 3-sheet poster is strikingly minimalist, dominated by vast white space and a ghostly, oversized profile above a tiny skier. The scale contrast emphasises isolation, speed, and psychological pressure, making it one of the most visually daring and collectible designs of the era.
