Synopsis
Inspired by a true story, Cool Runnings is the uplifting comedy about four Jamaican athletes who dream of competing in the Winter Olympics. When sprinter Derice Bannock fails to qualify for the 100-meter dash due to a sudden track accident, he refuses to let his Olympic dreams die. Discovering that a disgraced former American bobsled champion, Irving Blitzer, is living in Jamaica, Derice convinces him to coach the island nation's first-ever bobsled team. Alongside his push-cart champion friend Sanka Coffie and fellow sprinters Yul Brenner and Junior Bevil, Derice travels to Calgary, Alberta, to face sub-zero temperatures, intense media scrutiny, and widespread ridicule from traditional winter sports powerhouses. Through determination, team spirit, and undeniable Jamaican flair, the unlikely crew overcomes immense odds to earn the respect of their peers and prove that heart and perseverance matter far more than medals.
