On The Edge (1985)

Feel The Pain. Live The Dream. Share The Glory.

Academy Award-nominated actor Bruce Dern (Coming Home) stars in Rob Nilsson's exhilarating drama set on the beautiful and rugged trails of Mt. Tamalpais. Wes Holman (Dern), a once-promising runner who was unfairly banned from competition, returns to his boyhood home in Northern California and sets out to recapture his lost glory. Despite opposition from race organizers, he begins to train for the most grueling foot race in America, the Cielo Sea. Wes' personal obsession with winning comes to a stirring and surprising conclusion in one of the most beautifully photographed sports films ever made.
