5 Olympic rings, 5 films, 5 winter sports. With this spirit the outdoor cinema review “Olympics: the stories of the big screen” is born, organized by the Municipality of Belluno as part of the summer events of Restate in Città 2025.

For five weeks, stories inspired by real events focused on alpine skiing, bobsleigh, ski jumping, hockey, and skating will come to life on the big screen.

The film Eddie the Eagle  is inspired by the true story of Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, the British skier who in 1988 became the first athlete to represent the United Kingdom at the Winter Olympics in the discipline of ski jumping.

In 1973, little Eddie, despite his physical problems and parents who continuously oppose him, pursues the dream of competing in the most prestigious of competitions, the Olympics.

Growing up, he discovers the discipline of ski jumping, a category now abandoned by England, and decides to apply for qualification in Germany and represent Great Britain at the 1988 Calgary Olympics.

Directed by Dexter Fletcher. Starring: Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken, Keith Allen, Jim Broadbent.
