Brink! is a 1998 American sports drama-Comedy film that depicts the sport of aggressive inline skating. Written by Jeff Schechter and directed by Greg Beeman, the film stars Erik von Detten as Andy "Brink" Brinker, a high school inline skater who joins a group of skaters to help his financially troubled family. The plot adapts and updates the 1865 novel Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge.[1][2] The film was released as the third Disney Channel Original Movie.

It doesn't take a literary expert to recognize the made-for-cable Disney movie, Brink! as an updated adaptation of the Mary Mapes Dodge classic, Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates (which Disney had filmed "straight" as a two-part TV drama back in the early 1960s).

The film is very loosely based on the 1865 novel, Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates.
