This ode to stunt work based on the 80s TV series and personal experience, comes direct from real life stunt man and director David Leitch. This hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller is love letter to action movies and most importantly - The Fall Guy.
Ryan Gosling, who we all know and love as ‘just Ken’, stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie goes missing.
And while Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s (Emily Blunt) good graces, the mystery around the missing star deepens, pushing him to the edge of a fall far more dangerous than any stunt.
Fizzy, funny and a true romantic delight, The Fall Guy is a tribute to the craft of making big movies with big stunts, celebrating the (sometimes literal!) heights reached on the big screen.
