Inspired by the 1980s hit TV series, real stuntman and director David Leitch helms an all-star cast in The Fall Guy. We follow a stuntman, played by Ryan Gosling, who, like everyone in the stunt community, 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, played by Emily Blunt, while still doing his day job.
Leitch is the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night. The Fall Guy is his most personal film because he’s an original stuntman. It’s his love letter to the under-appreciated crew in this supposedly hilarious, hard-driving, apex-action thriller.
Gosling 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—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Blunt, goes missing.
While the film’s ruthless producer, played by Hannah Waddingham, maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while futilely trying to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces.
But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt becomes entangled in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke and Stephanie Hsu.

In the film Helena’s, played by Daisy Ridley, ordinary life hides a dark and dangerous truth. Her estranged father is the infamous Marsh King, played by Ben Mendelsohn, the man who kept her and her mother captive in the wilderness for years.
When her father escapes from prison, Helena must confront her past. Knowing that he will hunt for her and her family, Helena must find the strength to face her demons and outmaneuver the man who taught her everything she knows about surviving in the wild.
There was never a doubt for the producers and director that Daisy Ridley was their perfect Helena. Remarks Teddy Schwarzman, “Daisy has these emotive eyes, and she can convey so much by doing so little. Additionally, Daisy not only has the physicality that the role requires but possesses the intelligence and empathy to perfectly nail the role of Helena.”
