Story

Breathtaking mountain panoramas, rapid downhill ski runs, endless skies and the rush of velocity: Nominated for an Oscar in 1977, this film satisfies action sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. It centres on two adrenaline junkies who choose the mountains of the Mount Cook National Park as a venue to experience maximum risk in unexplored wilderness (not to be forgotten: at a time when neither mobile phones nor GPS existed). A nerve racking sports film that will turn even couch potatoes into New Zealand fans.

Director

Michael Firth, writer, producer, director. His films include"Crazy Ski" (1987), "Sylvia" (1985) and "Heart of the Stag" (1984).
