瑞士雕刻家史坦納，他以近乎宗教般的狂熱投身飛行滑雪運動，不斷把自己投向空中，每一次飛躍都與死亡擦肩而過。他的飛行往往遠遠超越了賽道的邊界，稍有不慎，就可能摔落到無可挽回的深淵。

導演荷索透過五台攝影機同步拍攝，其中一台是能將跳躍過程放慢 25 倍的超高速攝影機，創造出前所未有的視覺效果，展現飛躍的力量與美感。本片藉由這些極具美學的飛行和墜落影像，捕捉生命與死亡之間的張力，探索了自由、毀滅以及人類征服不可能的驅力。前衛樂團 Popol Vuh 悠揚的配樂，與極端的慢鏡頭更疊韻出極富詩意的情感影像。

This film explores the fear, thrill, and beauty of ski-jumping. At its heart is Walter Steiner, a 20-year-old world champion who pushes the limits of human flight in a sport where triumph and tragedy are separated by a razor-thin line. Directed by Werner Herzog, the film captures Steiner's solitary preparation and the perilous allure of each jump, using groundbreaking slow-motion footage to reveal the breathtaking intensity of those five seconds that define a decade of training.
