For his efforts, Bannister was also made the inaugural recipient of the ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' [[Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year|Sportsperson of the Year]] award for 1954 (awarded in January 1955) and is one of the few non-Americans recognised by the American-published magazine as such.

In a UK poll conducted by [[Channel 4]] in 2002, the British public voted Bannister's historic sub-4-minute mile as number 13 in the list of the [[100 Greatest Sporting Moments]].<ref>{{Cite web | title= 100 Greatest Sporting Moments – Results | url= https://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest_sporting/results.html | archive-date= 17 April 2009 | publisher = [[Channel 4]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417062920/https://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest_sporting/results.html |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Bannister is the subject of the ESPN film ''Four Minutes'' (2005). This film is a dramatisation, its major departures from the factual record being the creation of a fictional character as Bannister's coach, who was actually [[Franz Stampfl]], an Austrian, and secondly his meeting his wife, Moyra Jacobsson, in the early 1950s when in fact they met in London only a few months before the Miracle Mile itself took place. Bannister was portrayed by [[Jamie Maclachlan]].

''Bannister: Everest on the Track, The Roger Bannister Story'' is a 2016 TV documentary about his childhood and youth in [[WWII]] and postwar Britain and the breaking of the 4-minute mile barrier, with interviews of participants and witnesses to the 1954 race, and later runners inspired by Bannister and his achievement, including [[Phil Knight]] who says that Roger Bannister inspired him to start [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]].<ref name="si">{{cite magazine|last1=Chavez|first1=Chris|title=Q&A with Tom Ratcliffe, director of Bannister: Everest on the Track|url=https://www.si.com/more-sports/2016/04/11/roger-bannister-documentary-film-everest-track-interview-phil-knight|access-date=14 December 2016|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|date=11 April 2016}}</ref>
