Cool Runnings

Irving Blitzer disgraced himself when putting extra weights into his team's bobsled in the Olympics, resulting in his gold medal being taken away. Years later, Derice Bannock, son of a former friend of Irv's, fails to qualify for the 100-yard sprint for the Olympics due to a stupid accident. But when he hears that Irv also lives in Jamaica, he decides to go to the Olympics anyway, not as a sprinter, but as a bobsledder. After some starting problems, the first Jamaican bobsledding team is formed and heads for Calgary. In the freezing weather Derice, Sanka, Junior, and Yul are only laughed at, since nobody can take a Jamaican bobsledding team led by a disgraced trainer seriously. But team spirit and a healthy self-confidence may lead to a few surprises in the upcoming Olympics.
