" Four Jamaicans form their country's first ever bobsled team to compete in the upcoming 1988 Winter Olympics. They enlist the help of a disgraced former Olympic gold medal winner to reluctantly coach them. However, when they reach Calgary, they're treated as outsiders by the other teams, who fear they'll only succeed in embarrassing the sport. The film’s soundtrack featured songs by Jimmy Cliff, Wailing Souls, Super Cat, Diana King, and others, as well music by Hans Zimmer. The film ended"
