Gosling is a screwball pulling stunts
He’s 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 former real life stuntman and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious 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: The Fall Guy.
Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, 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 movie – being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, who is played by Oscar nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place, Sicario) goes missing.
While the film’s producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), manoeuvres to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces.
But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that pushes him
to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Teresa Palmer (A Discovery of Witches, The Clearing) as Iggy Starr, Tom Ryder’s co-star and showmance girlfriend; Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu
(Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Tom Ryder’s personal assistant Alma Milan, and Winston Duke
(Black Panther) as Dan Tucker, a stunt coordinator and Colt’s close friend.

The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly Mccormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North.
