Official Synopsis

Colt Seavers is a battle-scarred stuntman who left the business to focus on his physical and mental health. He is drafted back into service when Tom Ryder, the mega-star of a massive studio film directed by Colt's ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno, suddenly vanishes. As the ruthless movie producer attempts to keep the disappearance a secret from the studio, Colt executes increasingly dangerous practical stunts while unraveling a dark, criminal conspiracy. David Leitch delivers a high-octane love letter to action cinema and the unsung heroes of the stunt community.
