About This Movie

So, RISE is one of those TV movies that really hits you in the feels. Directed by Nancy Stern Winters, it dives into the tragic story of the 1961 U.S. World Figure Skating Team, who lost their lives in a plane crash. The film isn't just about the accident, though; it's a heartfelt tribute to the sport itself and the legacy of those skaters. The atmosphere is somber yet celebratory, and it captures the beauty of figure skating in a way that feels both nostalgic and respectful. You can really see the care put into the production by Lookalike Productions, known for their Emmy-winning work. The pacing is steady, allowing you to absorb the emotional weight of the story without feeling rushed.
