The Stunt Man4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Limited Edition)Label: TransmissionDescription: Cameron (Steve Railsback Lifeforce) is a man who finds himself unmoored from American life: recently returned from Vietnam he is now a drifter on the run from the law. While evading police he stumbles upon the filming of a World War I movie helmed by the megalomaniacal Eli Cross (Peter O'Toole Lawrence of Arabia). When Cameron discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to the lead actor he hatches a plan: to hide from his potential captors by disguising himself as a stunt double and agreeing to perform a series of increasingly dangerous stunts. But nothing is what it first seems on an Eli Cross set and as illusion and make-believe start to bleed into one another Cameron finds himself locked in a battle of wits with a possibly insane genius and in danger of becoming unmoored not just from society but from reality itself... Newly restored in 4K The Stunt Man was a critical smash that suffered from distribution issues on its original release in 1980 - it was nevertheless nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Director for Richard Rush and has earned a reputation as one of the most beloved cult films of all time. Featuring one of Peter O'Toole's greatest performances and enough action-packed mayhem to power several blockbusters The Stunt Man is - to use the words of Eli Cross - pure movie magic.
