Samir et Stéphane, deux amis de Grenoble, fabriquent des skis de fond de compétition de haute qualité, mais leur entreprise est au bord de la faillite le jour où l'athlète suédois qui devait participer aux Jeux Olympiques avec des skis de leur marque décide de se tourner vers un autre fabricant. Stéphane convainc alors Sam de reprendre le ski de fond et de tenter de se qualifier pour les Jeux sous les couleurs de l'Algérie, le pays de son père. Un défi immense mené au prix d'un entraînement intensif car Sam, qui a passé la quarantaine, n'est plus aussi en forme que par le passé. La fédération algérienne lui promet une bourse de 20 000 dollars pour ses frais sportifs, ce qui va lui donner l'occasion de revenir en Algérie et de redécouvrir ses racines et sa famille, lui qui ne parle même pas l'arabe. Le défi sportif est immense, tant sur le plan physique que parce que la survie de l'entreprise dépend de sa réussite. Son père, qui a tout fait pour que ses enfants réussissent en France, y croit, et prépare aussi un beau cadeau à Sam : lui offrir tous ses oliviers au bled pour qu'il redevienne un jour, comme lui, un paysan algérien actif fier de ses valeurs ancestrales.

The film follows the story of an Arizona girl, Sarah Brown (Tatum O'Neal), who is orphaned when her parents are killed in a car crash. She is sent to England to live with her aunt Velvet Brown (Nanette Newman) and Uncle John (Christopher Plummer). When Velvet was a similar age to Sarah, she and her horse, The Pie, entered the legendary Grand National horse race and won; however, she was instantly disqualified because she was an adolescent female. The Pie is ultimately put out to stud upon his retirement. He sires his last foal after Sarah's arrival in England. Sarah and Velvet are present for the birth of this foal and Sarah eventually decides that she'd like to purchase him. She later finds out that her Aunt Velvet has bought him for her. Sarah aptly names him "Arizona Pie" (combining the name of his sire and the state in which Sarah lived). She shows enough talent to be selected for the British Olympic team, where she is the junior, but she does well under the stern guidance of Captain Johnson (Anthony Hopkins). Sarah lives up to her dream and enters the Olympic Three Day Event helping Great Britain win the team competition. She falls in love with an American competitor and moves back to America with him. At the conclusion of the film she gives her Olympic gold medal to her Aunt Velvet. Sarah introduces her fiance by saying: "Scott, I would like you to meet my parents".
