This spectacular exploration of the thrilling sports of skydiving and base jumping delves into the connection between science and thrill-seeking. With stunning photography of jumps over the Florida Keys, the Mojave Desert, and the Fjords of Norway, viewers are taken for the ride of their lives. Footage collected by a camera strapped to a professional jumper allows audiences to experience a leap from a 4,265-foot cliff in Norway, while two top risk-takers attempt to utilize the first realization of a parachute design created by Leonardo Da Vinci. The documentary also delves into the question of the psychological and physiological motivations behind risk-taking, asking why some people are driven to high-risk endeavors, while most prefer to remain in safety.
