The boundaries of sport are not confined to the chalked rectangle of the football field. There are wider boundaries.
Man's endless need for challenge and conquest is illustrated in a succession of filmed sporting action. His search for excellence on skis and surf boards, in boats and balloons, on parachutes and rock faces demonstrate the beauty, power and daring of the human in motion.
