Take Off follows the story of Cha Heon-tae, a Korean adopted into an American family, whose past skills as a trained alpine skier earns him the interest of Coach Bong, who is looking to form a new ski jumping team to participate in the 1998 Winter Olympics. Joined by four other men, each with their own stories and situations, Cha comes head-to-head with the sincere ferocity of what it means to be an athlete and commit to a seemingly impossible challenge.
