Description: 1 hr. 34 min. The true story of a dying river town in
Indiana, which in 1971 succeeded in becoming the host for the Gold Cup of
hydroplane boat racing. Competing on the racing circuit requires deep-pocketed
sponsorships and top-of-the-line technology and equipment. Jim McCormick, even
though he's now a father with a family to support and has a steady job, has
never abandoned his dream of piloting the community-owned Miss Madison to
victory in the sport's biggest event. Alas, the economic struggles of this
trade-diminished municipality have severely crimped its level of support. But
faced with the opportunity to welcome the prestigious championship, McCormick
wins, or more correctly hustles, the town's backing and, despite the misgivings
of his wife and a sizable percentage of his neighbors, undertakes to race Miss
Madison and compete with the big boys.
