'Certified Fresh' inspirational sports movie starring Star Wars alum now on Disney Plus

Daisy Ridley in Young Woman and the Sea.

Remember the Titans; The Mighty Ducks; The Rookie; Miracle. These are just some of the great, inspirational sports movies that Disney has been behind over the years. They have another one that could soon be added to the list that is now streaming on Disney Plus — Young Woman and the Sea.

The 2024 new movie is based on the true story of Trudy Ederle, depicting her pursuit to become the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926. It stars Daisy Ridley, best known of course for her role as Rey in the most recent Star Wars big-screen trilogy, as well as Stephen Graham, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Sian Clifford, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston and Glenn Fleshler. The movie was directed by Joachim Rønning.
