Fire & Ice

Their first meeting is a disaster: he falls off the ski lift, and when she jumps to rescue him, he leads her on a Key Stone Cops chase down the mountain. For JOHN EAVES, six-time winner of the Freestyle World Cup and stunt man for James Bond, it's love at first sight. For World Champion Freestyle skier SUZY CHAFFEE, it's a see-ya-later-buddy. But John doesn't give up easily. He decides that if the only way to win her means following her across the country, then that's what he'll do. Starting in Manhattan, he trudges 3,000 miles through urban jungle and flatland desert, all the time fantasising about what they'll do when they're together.

Directed by Willy Bogner, Fire & Ice leans on a strong ensemble — John Eaves, Suzy Chaffee, Kelby Anno — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1986.
