"The Olympics. Where dreams are fulfilled and broken. Where sports is the hottest weapon in the Cold War. Where love and politics clash."
This Olympics film, tied in with the planned 1980 games from which the United States subsequently withdrew, focuses on an American athlete whose dreams of winning the Decathlon are threatened by his romance with a pretty Russian gymnast.
