NYAD Movie - Clip with Annette Bening and Jodie Foster - Plot synopsis: : A remarkable true story of tenacity, friendship and the triumph of the human spirit, NYAD recounts a riveting chapter in the life of world-class athlete Diana Nyad. Three decades after giving up marathon swimming in exchange for a prominent career as a sports journalist, at the age of 60, Diana (four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with completing an epic swim that always eluded her: the 110 mile trek from Cuba to Florida, often referred to as the "Mount Everest" of swims. Determined to become the first person to finish the swim without a shark cage, Diana goes on a thrilling, four-year journey with her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) and a dedicated sailing team.

00:00 Hey, what's that?
00:01 - What? - That.
00:02 They're raccoons.
00:04 Have you been swimming?
00:06 - Yes, yes, I have.
00:07 - Wow, look at you, swimmer.
00:09 Okay, wow, what's it been, like 30 years
00:11 since you put on a pair of goggles?
00:13 - That's right. - How'd it feel?
00:14 - Great.
00:16 Came right back to me.
00:17 - Great exercise at your age.
00:20 Low impact, easy on the joints.
00:22 - Yeah.
00:23 I wanna do it.
00:25 - Do what?
00:26 - Cuba to Florida.
00:27 My swim.
00:28 - Huh?
00:29 - I'm gonna do it.
00:31 - You're hilarious, sir.
00:33 - No, I'm not kidding, Bonnie.
00:35 I'm going to do it.
00:36 - No, that's insane.
00:37 You tried that when you were 28
00:39 and you did not make it when you were 28.
00:41 You're 60.
00:42 - Yeah, I don't believe in imposed limitations.
00:44 I don't believe in any limitations.
00:46 And that's the reason to do it, not the other way around.
00:50 I started with 20 minutes, then 20 more just to see,
00:53 and I am up to four and five hours in the pool.
00:56 - I don't understand.
00:57 Are you having like a mental breakdown or something?
01:00 - My mind has never been clearer.
01:02 Don't you get it?
01:04 The mind.
01:05 This is what I was missing when I was younger.
01:08 I've got it now.
01:09 - The mind does not swim a hundred miles across the ocean.
01:12 Right?
01:12 The body does.
01:13 - Yes.
01:14 That's the other piece of it.
01:15 - Oh, there's another piece to it.
01:16 - Yes.
01:17 I need to get myself functioning at the highest level.
01:19 You're gonna be my coach.
01:20 - That's why you wanted to play ping pong.
01:23 You never wanna play ping pong.
01:25 - No, no, so, Bonnie.
01:26 - Absolutely not.
01:27 - No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:28 - You said I needed to do something to get out of my funk.
01:30 - I meant you should sign up for speed dating
01:33 or get a therapist.
01:34 Not come out of a 30 year retirement
01:36 for some dangerous, absurd fantasy.
01:38 - I am doing it.
01:39 I'm not done.
01:40 I have more in me and so do you.
01:42 Come on, don't you wanna be fully engaged, fully awake?
01:45 Your soul ignited by a purpose,
01:47 a mission would be an amazing ride.
01:50 Think about it.
01:51 You and me, a great adventure.
01:53 You were born to coach and a coach needs an athlete.
01:56 - No, no, no, no.
01:58 - Serve.
01:59 Okay.
02:02 Well, I'm doing a test swim down in Mexico.
02:05 Come, let me show you what I got.
02:07 Eight hours of serious currents in the open ocean.
