With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of &#8220;Kingsman: The Secret Service,&#8221; &#8220;Eddie the Eagle&#8221; stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trailer
