Documentary on the 2010 Isle of Man TT motorcycle race: "the most treacherous and gruelling course in the world".
Narrated by actor/musician Jared Leto (Lord of War, frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars), this follows TT racers' reckless dedication in their bid to become 'King of the Mountain' and examines what motivates these rare, elite drivers. Racing along public roads on bikes just inches apart – with speeds hitting 200mph – drama, tension and tragedy all combine. Motorsport stars feature, including Guy Martin, John McGuinness (15 time TT winner) and Conor Cummins.
TT: Closer to the Edge marked the year anniversary of the death of Kiwi rider Paul Dobbs who died competing in the race, while the documentary was being shot.
