About NYAD

Athlete Diana Nyad sets out at 60 to achieve a nearly impossible lifelong dream: to swim from Cuba to Florida across more than 100 miles of open ocean.

Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin directed NYAD, a 2023 history film. The film is filed under affectation, based on memoir or autobiography, midlife crisis, and sport.

Annette Bening takes the lead as Diana Nyad, Jodie Foster as Bonnie Stoll, Rhys Ifans as John Bartlett, and Ethan Jones Romero as Nico. It runs 120 minutes and was released in October 2023.

The screenplay is by Julia Cox. Production companies include Black Bear Pictures, Mad Chance, and SPG3 Entertainment. The story is adapted from real events. In the United States it streams on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads.

The Hurricane, The Swimmers, and Ammonite make useful companions to NYAD, all filed under absurd, admiring, and adoring. TMDB voters put it at 7.1 out of 10 across 584 votes and it carries a PG-13 rating.
