Wind is set in the world of competitive yacht racing, where a young sailor (Matthew Modine) is intent on winning the America's Cup, as well as regaining the affections of his ex-girlfriend (Jennifer Grey). As the film opens, Modine chooses to race the America's Cup instead of staying with Grey. She leaves him and his team loses the race, leaving him devastated. Modine tracks Grey down, finding her with a new boyfriend, who happens to be an engineer. He persuades her and her new boyfriend to help him build a new yacht, which he plans on using in his pursuit to regain the America's Cup. Though filled with exciting racing scenes, the film is a little too lengthy and slow-paced to support its thin plot.~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Johnny Depp's pirate skipper Capt. Jack Sparrow has topped a new online poll of movie mariners. The Pirates of The Caribbean rogue, which Depp based on rock star Keith Richards, beat Russell Crowe's Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World and Wind's Will Parker, played by Matthew Modine. Also making the top 10 on the CNN sea-faring list are Kevin Costner's Mariner from Waterworld and Mutiny on the Bounty's Fletcher Christian, played by Marlon Brando in 1962. Read more
