The Cutting Edge

Doug Dorsey is a blue-collar hockey player who was injured in the 1988 Winter Olympics, leaving him unable to play professional hockey. Kate Moseley is a prima donna figure skater who no one will pair up with after a fall during the same Olympic games. With nowhere else to go, Kate's Russian coach brings Doug in as a potential partner. Though Doug has no figure skating experience, Kate is none too happy about this arrangement and attempts to antagonize Doug into leaving, but his strong work ethic and lack of options convinces him to remain. The pair undergo grueling, rigorous training to finalize a program for the U.S. National Championships - and from there, the Winter Olympics and a possible gold medal.
