The Fall Guy

In the glitter‑laden yet bruised underbelly of Hollywood, the line between spectacle and survival is drawn with a rope harness. Colt Seavers lives that line every day, a veteran stuntman whose craft is measured in split‑seconds and bruised bones. The world he inhabits is a perpetual chase of danger and applause, a place where the roar of engines and the clang of rigging become a second language, and the audience never sees the cost behind the perfect fall.

A career‑ending accident forces Colt into an unexpected stillness, pulling him away from the rigs and into a quieter life behind a valet desk. It also separates him from Jody Moreno, a savvy camera operator whose own ambitions of directing keep her perpetually on the edge of the next big shot. Their bond, forged in the chaos of set pieces, lingers beneath the surface, hinting at unfinished conversations and unspoken loyalty.

When the polished façade of a new sci‑fi production begins to crumble, the disappearance of the film’s charismatic lead, Tom Ryder, throws the set into disarray. The studio’s producer reaches out to Colt, offering him a chance to step back into the danger zone—not as a performer, but as someone who must piece together the missing star’s whereabouts. The request drags him from the safety of his new routine into a labyrinth of backstage politics, whispered rumors, and the ever‑present pressure of the camera’s gaze.

What follows is a tense blend of high‑octane action and investigative intrigue, set against the backdrop of a industry that hides as many secrets as it reveals. As Colt navigates this unfamiliar role, the film asks whether a man defined by his stunts can rediscover who he is when the spotlight shifts from the stunt to the man behind it. The tone stays gritty and witty, promising a roller‑coaster ride through the world where every fall could be the one that finally lifts him up.
