Overview

In 1971, air-conditioner repairman and boat enthusiast Jim McCormick entertains his desire to 'go down' as a legend in the record books when the Gold Cup hydroplane boat race improbably comes to his small town of Madison, Indiana. Immediately, Jim seizes his opportunity to enter the contest. With a motley crew of fellow mechanics and friends at his side, Jim fixes up his old boat and brings hope to the blighted industrial city. Written by Sujit R. Varma

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A working-class underdog story set against the roar of hydroplane racing, where a small-town dreamer and his scrappy crew chase glory on the water. It's a film about ordinary people refusing to accept their town's decline, driven by passion and friendship.
