The 'Miss Madison' may have seen better days, but she's about to go out in a blaze of glory. The pride of Madison, Indiana, the dilapidated hydroplane's been entered in the 1971 Gold Cup Championship race, whose $50,000 prize money has been raised by the town itself. Chosen to pilot the craft is Jim McCormick (Jim Caviezel), a local man who's sacrificed his family's future to enter the race. Supported by an idolizing son (Jake Lloyd), an understanding wife (Mary McCormack) and legendary mechanic (Bruce Dern), Jim takes the 'Miss Madison' on her final voyage, in a race to the finish that will leave you cheering!
