"When the United States Olympic ski team is decimated by injuries, Coach Eugene Claire (Gene Hackman) calls in replacements. One is David Chappellet (Robert Redford, the Colorado man who is given an outside chance at best to make the team. Cold and dispassionate, David goes about his business as further injuries to the team make him a serious contender. His father (Walter Stroud) is less than enthused with his son's desire to be a champion when he states ""The world's full of 'em."" The coach tries to raise more money for the team, convincing backers that this is the breakthrough year. Exciting ski races from Switzerland, Austria and Colorado are employed as a documentary style is used to tell the story of the skier who turns his dreams into Olympic gold."
