There are more than fifty million disabled people in America. Everyone works through challenging difficulties at some point in their lives ….emotional, mental or physical. This is a movie that deals with that side of life and delivers this simple message: “Don’t give up, and never give in. If you can’t ever loose, then you wouldn’t ever win.”

Even the music of this program features the power and inspiration of the disabled experience. Despite being stricken with muscular dystrophy, Rickie and Robbie Heisner formed a full time touring and recording band, VAN GOGH. Their driving melodies and evocative lyrics add depth and dimension the exploits of the disabled athletes.

WHEELS OF FIRE is more than a great sports action movie. It's pure motivation. Training, courage and innovative equipment have taken Mark Wellman higher, faster and further into the wilderness than most able-bodied people will ever go. The former park ranger has become a national hero for his ascents of Yosemite's El Capitan and Half Dome. He's been invited to address major corporations, throw out opening day baseballs and meet with two Presidents of the United States. But Wellman is more than just a paraplegic climber with a national reputation, he's a multi-sport athlete, driven to push his outermost limits.

Using the latest technology in materials and biomechanical concepts, Wellman and other outdoor adventurers with disabilities have developed and adapted custom equipment to challenge the mountains, oceans and skies. Wellman and his "disabled" friends ski across Alaska’s forbidding Ruth Glacier, mountain bike the Colorado Rockies, climb Mt. Whitney, race land sailing machines across the salt flats of Nevada, and blast the mud-pits of competition off-road truck racing.

Paralyzed from the waist down in a climbing accident, Wellman fought through the pain and depression of loss, and turned his disability into a driving motivation to overcome his obstacles. He doesn't just cope with the difficulties of his life, he dominates them.
