The literally uplifting story of have-a-go ski jumper Eddie Edwards, one of Britain’s best-known sporting figures – as famous for losing as he was for winning, but dearly loved for his tireless enthusiasm and eccentricities.

Egerton perfectly embodies the spirit of Olympic obsessive Eddie, a geeky Gloucester plasterer who refuses to give up on his sporting dreams. Deciding that ski jumping is his best shot, he finds a loophole that could actually allow him to compete – but he has to learn to jump first.
