Synopsis
Set in Austria, in 1928, with the spectre of Nazism on the rise, a young Jew, Philippe Halsman, is accused of patricide after his father's death during a hike through the Alps. His strained relationship with his father, and the apparent evidence that he has been struck on the head with a rock, point towards the son's guilt. Halsman is put on trial, in Innsbruck, where his case is taken up by one of the country's leading lawyers.

Filming took place partially in Innsbruck, Austria during 2006 and 850 extras were hired for Jump!. Berger has stated that Swayze considered the film "his most important work".[3][4]
