Cool Runnings

Though partially fictionalized, this feel-good Disney movie is loosely based on the Jamaica national bobsled team's competitive debut during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Coached by Irving Blitzer (a character based on real-life American bobsledder Howard Siler), four Jamaican bobsledders get the chance to compete on the international level, despite never having seen snow.
