The Fall Guy


 

Working as the stunt double for action star Tom Ryder, Hollywood stunt
performer Colt Seavers breaks his back during a stunt gone wrong and
abandons his career and his girlfriend, camerawoman Jody Moreno.

 

Eighteen months later, Colt, now a valet for a small Mexican restaurant, is
contacted by Gail Meyer, Tom's film producer. She tells him that Jody is
directing her first film, a space opera film titled Metalstorm starring Tom,
and wants Colt to join the production in Sydney. After arriving on set, Colt
learns that Jody never asked for him and is still angry about their breakup,
with the film being a less-than-subtle attempt at airing her grievances at
Colt.

 

Gail reveals that Tom has disappeared after getting into trouble with "very
bad people", and she wants Colt to find him before his absence causes the
already overbudget film's cancelation. Not wanting Jody's directorial debut
ruined, Colt starts to track down Tom. He first goes to Tom's apartment
where he meets Tom's girlfriend and co-star Iggy. She gives Colt a lead, so
he visits a nightclub, where he meets drug dealer Doone, who tricks Colt
into drinking a cocktail laced with hallucinogenic drugs. After getting into
a fight with Doone's henchmen, Colt visits Tom's hotel room where he finds a
dead body in a bathtub full of ice. When Colt returns with the police, the
body has disappeared.

 

As the production of Metalstorm continues, Colt and Jody begin to rekindle
their relationship until Gail abruptly informs him that he must return to
the United States. Instead, he continues looking for Tom by tracking down
his personal assistant Alma Milan. She hands him Tom's phone that Tom and
Gail had been searching for, before they are both attacked by Tom's head of
security, Dressler, and his team who are looking for the phone. Colt and
Alma defeat them after an extended chase through Sydney involving a rubbish
truck. He and his long-time friend Dan Tucker, the stunt coordinator on
Metalstorm, unlock the phone and discover a video of an intoxicated Tom
killing his most-recent stunt double Henry Herrera (the man in the bathtub)
while sparring at a party. The henchmen attack Colt and Dan, destroying the
phone with shotgun pellets.

 

Dan escapes, but Colt is captured and brought face-to-face with Tom, who has
been hiding out on a yacht on Gail's instructions. He reveals that Gail is
framing Colt for the crime using deepfake technology to replace Tom's face
with Colt's on the incriminating video and that he orchestrated Colt's
accident because he felt that Colt was stealing the spotlight from him.
Henry's body is discovered and the doctored video is released on news media,
while Gail tries to convince Jody that Colt is guilty. Colt escapes and is
presumed dead after a boat chase, though he swims to safety.

 

The next day, Tom arrives at the Metalstorm set and production continues.
Colt secretly returns to the set and convinces Jody of his innocence.
Together, they trick Tom into participating in a stunt sequence and
confessing while he is wired with a lav mike. The rest of the crew, led by
Dan, hold off his goons. Gail steals the recording at gunpoint and tries to
escape in a helicopter with Tom, but Jody helps Colt leap onto the
helicopter in mid-air. He retrieves the recording and falls onto a crash mat
prepared by Dan, while the helicopter crashes with Gail and Tom in it.

 

Metalstorm's trailer premieres at San Diego Comic-Con, with Jason Momoa
being made the new lead and Alma the film's new producer; the film
eventually becomes a box-office hit. Colt gets exonerated, and he and Jody
get back together.

 

The credits play over a montage of behind-the-scenes footage of the real
stunt work involved in making the film, followed by a mid-credits scene in
which Tom and Gail are shown surviving the helicopter crash but are
apprehended by undercover bounty hunters (two of them played by Lee Majors
and Heather Thomas). In trying to escape, Tom accidentally triggers the
pyrotechnics and blows himself up; Alma immediately calls Jason Momoa's
agent.
