The story follows Colt Seavers (Gosling), a former stuntman who has retired after a serious on-set accident that sidelined him for over a year. Emily Blunt plays Jody Moreno, Colt’s ex-girlfriend and a first-time film director. When a major actor, Tom Ryder (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), goes missing from Jody’s film set, Colt is brought in by producer Gail Meyer (Hannah Waddingham) to help find him. What starts as a reluctant mission for Colt evolves into a high-stakes adventure as he navigates both personal and professional challenges, including rekindling his relationship with Jody. The film, directed by David Leitch, is a tribute to stunt performers, with jaw-dropping stunts and a nostalgic nod to the 1980s TV series of the same name. It balances humor and heart with thrilling action sequences, making it a fun cinematic experience Cast Ryan Gosling as Colt Seavers, a seasoned action stuntman Emily Blunt as Jody Moreno, Colt’s ex-girlfriend and a first-time director Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Tom Ryder, a famous action film star Hannah Waddingham as Gail Meyer, the producer of Jody’s film Teresa Palmer as Iggy Starr, Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Stephanie Hsu as Alma Milan, Tom’s personal assistant Winston Duke as Dan Tucker, Colt’s long-time friend and stunt coordinator Adam Dunn as Nigel, a crew member on Jody’s film Zara Michales as Venti Kushner, the visual effects supervisor on Jody’s film Ben Knight as Dressler, Tom’s bodyguard Additionally, Lee Majors and Heather Thomas, who starred as Colt Seavers and Jody Banks respectively in the original television series, reprise their roles in a mid-credits scene with Majors credited as “The Fall Guy”, while Jason Momoa has an uncredited appearance as himself.
