The Big Jump

Filmplakat mit einem Skispringer in einem weißen Anzug, der über eine rote Skisprungschanze springt, vor einem verschneiten Berg- und Waldpanorama, mit dem Titel THE BIG JUMP in großen roten Buchstaben und dem Slogan FLIEG MIT UNS IN 3D darüber.

The film is an adventurous journey into the world of ski flying and this high-tech sport is shown in spectacular 3D. The audience enters a world unreachable for most. What’s only a competition on television will be a euphoric experience, an insight into the most modern training methods and the discovery of the aesthetics of flying for viewers at the cinema.
