Highpoint is a Canadian 1982 action comedy-thriller film directed by Peter Carter and starring Richard Harris, Christopher Plummer and Beverly D'Angelo.
The film was shot on location in Montreal and Toronto, and is perhaps best remembered for its climax atop the CN Tower, in which stuntman Dar Robinson (doubling for Plummer) makes the 700 ft (210 m) jump in freefall, protected only by a hidden parachute.
Due to negative critical and audience reception concerning its convoluted plot and poor pacing, the film was heavily re-edited by North American distributor New World Pictures, removing much of the comedy and replacing John Addison's original score with one by Christopher Young.
Lewis Kinney is an accountant who goes to work for a wealthy family, the Hatchers.
Kinney falls for James' sister Lise and is pursued by two bumbling henchmen, Centino and Falco.
