NYAD Movie Trailer HD - 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 Listen to this. Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
00:05 Don't you want to be fully awake? Your soul ignited by a purpose? Oh, oh, I'm serious. Not again.
00:14 Diana Nyack, world champion marathon swimmer. The swim I want to do is 60 hours. That's Cuba to Florida.
00:24 Absolutely not. No, no, no, no. That's insane, Diana. You tried that when you're 28 and you did not make it when you're 28.
00:30 You're 60. I don't believe in imposed limitations. The only one who gets to decide if I'm through is me.
00:36 Okay, just a little swim.
00:44 It's 100 miles.
00:53 Or 60 hours of constant swimming.
00:56 But what I'm most afraid of is sharks and man of war.
01:02 I just know I can do it and I couldn't do it without you.
01:06 Alright, okay.
01:08 What you want to do has never been done. I mean, especially not for a woman. Especially not for someone your age.
01:20 Everybody's got a limit.
01:22 Get her out!
01:25 You gotta breathe. Diana, breathe now.
01:28 Four tries and four failures.
01:32 You really don't get it, do you?
01:34 You don't even think of me. Of course I think about you. I watched you die.
01:38 But this isn't about you, okay? This is about me for once.
01:45 Imagine knowing you could do something that no one else could do.
01:49 I think we have a window.
01:52 Diana Nya is back.
01:55 I know the world wants me to shut my mouth and sit down and wait to die, but I can't.
02:03 You are a force.
02:09 Diana, you got this!
02:12 You got this!
02:14 There's no one more Nyad than you.
02:18 Everybody's got a limit.
02:21 Everybody's got a limit.
