Following the fast-paced action of the world-famous Isle of Man TT Races, TT3D: CLOSER TO THE EDGE tracks the competitors of the 2010 race as they speed at up to 200mph in search of the ultimate thrill ride and examines their need to go to the extreme to feel truly alive and the truly awesome film will be released on Blu–ray and DVD on November 28.
Racing along public roads on bikes just inches apart, this moving story unites the drama, tension, excitement and tragedy of the yearly event and provides unique behind-the-scenes access to the friends, families and riders of the TT who risk their lives competing to be ‘King of the Mountain’.
Brought to the screen by Cinema NX, TT3D: CLOSER TO THE EDGE gained exceptional box office success, amassing an impressive £1.
25 million throughout the course of its theatrical release and becoming the eighth highest grossing documentary in the UK of all time.
Now on DVD, the 3D adventure will still keep viewers on the edge of their seat as fellow racers Guy Martin and Ian Hutchinson battle for the title with their own distinctive approaches to the life or death course.
Watch as Guy Martin is the loveable rogue who lives by his own rules and relies on exhilarating determination and speed loving spirit to win; whilst Ian Hutchinson continues to battle through as the dedicated, strategic, focused and almost unstoppable force on the mountain course.
Both are unwavering in their resolve to become the ultimate rider and only this film allows audiences to witness the most dramatic and record-breaking year in TT history.
Directed by Richard de Aragues, and produced by Steve Christian and Marc Samuelson, TT3D: CLOSER TO THE EDGE puts this elite band of brothers in the spotlight, where the pursuit of glory is the pursuit of freedom and can often lead to the ultimate sacrifice; especially when you have to risk everything to win.
