A story of competition and fierce friendship.

Swimming phenomenon and multiple Olympic gold medallist Missy Franklin was destined for greatness at an early age, but destiny can be a burden. When four-time Olympic silver medallist Kara Lynn Joyce joins Missy’s teenage swim club, destiny starts to become reality.

In Kara, Missy finds the older sister she never had; in Missy, Kara begins to rediscover the mojo that made her one of the most fierce sprinters in the sport. Together they train, compete, and support each other as they reach for the highest pantheon of – the London 2012 Olympic Games.

But as tension with their coach builds, the pool becomes too small for the two of them. Driven apart by coach and circumstance, they reunite triumphantly in London, and Missy becomes one of athletics’ biggest stars.

Touch the Wall is a tale of adversity, triumph, and the friendship between two strong women. Not just a movie for swimmers, Touch the Wall is a universal story of grace and love in the rarefied world of elite athletic competition. Together, Missy and Kara redefine what it means to win.
