Synopsis

Wingsuit pioneers Jeb Corliss and Iiro Seppanen take on their greatest challenge: flying through a mountain cave called Heaven’s Gate.

Wingsuit flying is the extreme sport which allows humans to soar like birds. The suits added to the surface area, enable them to gain significant ‘lift’. Because of the difficulty of the task, no one deceived himself: man’s age-old dream of flying unaided has been marked mostly by failure and death. The journey leading up to the big day has been a long quest, as this group of close friends push each other to their limits and beyond. The ride of elite athletes to take on a gigantic mountain cave. Can they conquer Heaven’s Gate?
