- Synopsis
- Matthew Modine and Jennifer Grey star as experienced sailors determined to win the prestigious America's Cup yacht race. Their love for each other is put to the test when she's removed from the crew and joins up with a maverick designer (Stellan Skarsgård) whose new boat design represents the cutting edge of sailing competition. Eventually Modine leaves his millionaire sponsor (Cliff Robertson) and reunites with Grey, and their race against the Australian World's Cup champion leads to a thrilling climax on the high sea.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Wind' is not commonplace movie making. The sailing sequences, including one short, very funny race off Newport involving the kind of small boats you and I might sail, surpass anything I've ever seen on the screen."
-
"A vigorous and colorful piece of filmmaking that never quite shakes free of an embarrassingly trite, formulaic screenplay."
-
"'Wind' succeeds in turning the competition into one that is intense, pictorially compelling and intelligible in terms of basic racing maneuvers
-
"The elements prove far more stimulating than the people in 'Wind', a sail-racing saga that could have used a great deal more dramatic rigging."
-
"'Wind' is quite content to keep things at the visual and visceral level, and on that unambitious but highly photogenic plane it's a handsome piece of salt-water escapism."
