2024 / Action comedy / Directed by David Leitch
A stunt double searches for a missing star.
What is The Fall Guy about?
Stunt performer Colt Seavers returns to a film production after an accident ended his career. The lead actor disappears, and Colt is asked to find him while the film's director, his former partner Jody Moreno, tries to keep her production alive.
Five things to know.
Starting situation
Colt returns to stunt work after a serious accident, rather than working as a bounty hunter as in the older television series.
The missing person
Tom Ryder, the production's leading actor, disappears and leaves the expensive film in danger of being abandoned.
The relationship
The film is directed by Jody Moreno, Colt's former partner, making his return a professional and personal problem.
Credits
David Leitch directs the 2024 film, with Ryan Gosling as Colt and Emily Blunt as Jody.
Scope
The brief covers the return to production and the missing-star problem without revealing the conspiracy or its resolution.
A thought to take with you.
Colt normally does dangerous work so that someone else can remain the visible star. Searching for that star turns the division of labor into the story's problem. His connection to Jody adds another distinction: helping her film survive and repairing their relationship are not tasks that require exactly the same performance.
Is it your kind of movie?
Choose it for a stunt-work comedy connecting a missing actor with an unfinished relationship. It is the 2024 movie, not the 1980s bounty-hunter series.
