The film takes place in the dystopian American society of the year 2081, in which all individual inequality has been erased by the fictional 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution and the "unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General", after that cabinet office was created to ensure a "golden age of equality" in the United States. Exceptionalness in the world is destroyed in the name of equality, achieved through the use of "handicaps" - physical devices used to nullify every inborn advantage any person might have over another: "The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains."

Lors des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1956 de Melbourne, les équipes masculines de water-polo de Hongrie et de l'Union soviétique doivent s'affronter en demi-finales, le match ayant lieu peu après l'Insurrection de Budapest écrasée par l'Armée rouge. L'équipe hongroise n'a été informée des détails de la répression brutale effectuée par les Soviétiques qu'à son arrivée en Australie, et l'animosité entre les deux équipes est à son comble. Le match entrera dans l'histoire des Jeux Olympiques sous le nom de Bain de sang de Melbourne. Le documentaire est axé sur le joueur hongrois Ervin Zádor et est narré par Mark Spitz.
