It’s the greatest (and only) Yacht-racing film ever made.
- Jennifer Grey had her nose surgically altered after the film wrapped. Nobody has been able to recognize her since.
- The storyline of the movie is loosely based on the story of America's Cup skipper, Dennis Conner, who caused national embarrassment in 1983 by losing the America's Cup to the Australians. This movie probably isn’t anywhere in Dennis’s Netflix queue.
In more than 140 years of competition, the United States has lost the America's Cup only once. WIND is the dramatic, fictional story of an upstart group of American challengers whose drive to win back sailing's top prize plunges them into a world where money, power, love and abition are inextricably intertwined.
