Synopsis
Heโs a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
From real-life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train,ย Deadpool 2,ย Atomic Blondeย andย Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shawย and the producer ofย John Wick,ย Nobodyย andย Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them:ย The Fall Guy.
Oscarยฎย nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie,ย La La Land,ย Drive) 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 movieโbeing directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer,ย A Quiet Placeย films,ย Sicario)โgoes missing.
While the filmโs ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham;ย Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson;ย Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the filmโs most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jodyโs good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series,ย The Fall Guyย also stars Winston Duke (Black Pantherย franchise) and Academy Awardยฎย nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
From a screenplay byย Hobbs & Shawย screenwriter Drew Pearce,ย The Fall Guyย is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train,ย Nobody,ย Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and byย Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones,ย Steve Jobsย and executive producer of the upcoming seriesย Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360โs Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the originalย Fall Guyย television series, Glen A. Larson.
