Kinmont is fortunate to survive the crash, but she is left paralyzed. With her life now completely altered, Kinmont undergoes an exhausting fight to regain some of what she has lost. Friends and family stand by her side to offer their support through her ordeal, but the dedication of fiancé and fellow skier Dick Buek (Beau Bridges) truly makes an impact.

steve d @RT35616104 Jul 16, 2020 It WANTS to be Love Story, and Love Story was no classic. See more Jan 26, 2014 Un culebron aceptable que vi en la tele cuando era un chavito, y que 35 anyos despues vi con mi reina y princesa :) See more Dec 29, 2012 This was Universals biggest hit in 40 years. A supreme grief fest, it's almost as good as Beaches! See more Mar 17, 2012 This is one of the "older" movies that is so worthwhile. :) See more Dec 27, 2011 I've seen parts of the sequel to this on TV, but as usual, the sequel doesn't compare to the original. This movie is bittersweet and a must see for anyone. See more Dec 26, 2011 ABC must have used this as an afternoon special in the 1980s. See more Read all reviews
