SYNOPSIS - Twin Falls, Idaho. High-school senior, Kyle, wants nothing more than to escape his controlling Civil Engineer father and small town life by playing baseball for USC. When Kyle learns his Dad, (who just designed & built Knievel’s launch ramp), has blown his college fund on a country club membership for himself, Kyle sets out to earn the tuition he needs any way he can.

Kyle meets Knievel who challenges him to sneak onto the jump site to watch the test launch of the Skycycle X-1 prototype. Kyle brings best friends, Megan & Nick. Something goes wrong with the launch and the Skycycle crashes & sinks into the wild Snake River. Knievel offers five-thousand-dollars to anyone who recovers the Skycycle. Kyle, Megan & Nick risk their lives to dredge it up. They nearly pull it off too, but an accident forces Kyle to let the Skycycle go and rescue Megan & Nick instead.

Knievel is so impressed he offers Kyle a security job behind the scenes of the jump site. Megan takes a job too working in the beer garden. Nick is already tied to his job at his Dad’s gas station. With a week to go, the jump site campground fills with Cowboys, Families, Vietnam Vets, Bikers & Love Children. Groups of people who’ve never coexisted before. Kyle, Megan and Nick are forced to grow up fast. Kyle discovers his dad cheating on his Mom.

Inspired by Knievel's heroic determination, Kyle finally stands-up to his dad and is thrown out of his home. On the night before the big jump, Kyle saves best friend Nick from a murderous drug dealer, takes a chance on love with Megan, then, when a riotous Hell’s Angels gang threatens to destroy Evel’s Skycycle, Kyle risks his life to hire a group of ex-Marine bikers to block them, and it works.

The rest, is history.
