The Cutting Edge
Director: Paul Michael Glaser
Actors: D.B. Sweeney, Moira Kelly, Roy Dotrice
PlotDoug Dorsey, a talented, but injured, ice hockey player, and Kate Moseley, a competitive, yet difficult to get along with, figure skater, are brought together under the guidance of a determined coach. This unlikely pairing comes about after both athletes face personal setbacks: Doug's injury ends his hockey career, and Kate's difficult personality drives away her figure skating partners. The coach sees potential in combining Doug's raw athleticism with Kate's technical skill, despite their mutual initial disdain for each other.
As Doug adjusts to the world of figure skating, he struggles to learn the nuances of the sport and deal with Kate's demanding nature. Their relationship is fraught with constant arguments and clashing egos, but over time, they begin to develop a grudging respect and understanding for one another. With the pressure mounting as they prepare for national championships, the duo must navigate through their personal differences and the challenges of their partnership to prove they can compete against the best. The path forward demands sacrifice, growth, and an eventual, deeper connection between them as they chase their shared dream of glory on the ice.
