Three decades after giving up marathon swimming in exchange for a prominent career as a sports journalist, at the age of 60, Diana (four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with completing an epic swim that always eluded her: the 110 mile trek from Cuba to Florida, often referred to as the “Mount Everest” of swims.
Determined to become the first person to finish the swim without a shark cage, Diana goes on a thrilling, four-year journey with her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) and a dedicated sailing team.

The inspirational film marks the narrative directorial debut of Academy Award-winning documentary filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue). NYAD is produced by Andrew Lazar, p.g.a. and Teddy Schwarzman, p.g.a. with a screenplay by Julia Cox, adapted from the memoir 'Find a Way' by Diana Nyad.

Toronto International Film Festival presentation :

Annette Bening and Jodie Foster dive into the dangerous waters of the Florida Straits, in this film based on the true story of the woman who, at the age of 64, became the first person to swim from Cuba to the US without a shark cage.

Annette Bening and Jodie Foster star in this film depicting the true story of Diana Nyad’s attempt to become the first person to swim from Cuba to the US without a shark cage, decades after her retirement from the sport.

At the age of 60, Nyad (Bening) is frustrated about the way she left her swimming career behind and starts training once again to do the marathon swim she failed 30 years prior.
Her best friend, Bonnie Stoll (Foster), thinks it's a little foolish, but has no choice except to jump in as her coach once it becomes clear that Nyad isn’t backing down.
When navigator John Bartlett (Rhys Ifans, also at the Festival in Mother Couch) comes on board with the project, they finally have someone to guide her through the shark-infested waters of the Florida Straits.
The arduous swim takes a shocking toll on her body, and Nyad’s obsession starts to wear on the team.
Through flashbacks, we start to get a peek into her past and the trauma she’s fighting against.
