Wind (1992)

Wind (1992). In more than 140 years of competition, the US has lost the America’s Cup only once. Loosely based on Dennis Conner, 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 ambition are inextricably intertwined.
