25 Hill is a 2011 drama film about the All-American Soap Box Derby, the championships of which are held each July in Akron, Ohio, written and directed by Corbin Bernsen. It stars Nathan Gamble, Corbin Bernsen, Maureen Flannigan, and Ralph Waite.

Plot

12 year-old Trey Caldwell (Nathan Gamble) is shattered when his soldier father is killed in Afghanistan, leaving a hole in the boy's life – and an unfinished Soap Box Derby car in the garage. A final gift from his dad, the car is a constant reminder of all that could have been. But when Trey meets Roy Gibbs (Corbin Bernsen), a grizzled Fire Chief devastated by the loss of his firefighter son on 9/11, a new relationship forms and old wounds finally begin to heal. As the unlikely team works to complete the Soap Box car and train for the upcoming Derby, they'll learn that life isn't about the starting line or checkered flag – it's about having the courage to make the incredible journey of faith in between.
