In 'Stunt Man', fugitive Cameron (Steve Railsback) finds refuge amidst a film crew where they're in need of a stunt man. He takes on the role to evade the police while also attracting the attention of leading lady Allison (Barbra Streisand). Director Lionel Paulette (Peter O'Toole), seeing potential in Cameron's reckless nature, manipulates him into performing increasingly dangerous stunts. The blurred line between reality and movie danger keeps viewers guessing as Cameron navigates his feelings for Allison, Paulette's manipulations, and the persistent threat of police capture.
Directed by Richard Rush in 1980, 'Stunt Man' is a blend of genres—action, comedy, drama, and thriller—which revolves around Cameron, a fugitive hiding amongst filmmakers. The movie explores themes of identity, manipulation, and the blurred reality of movie danger. Although not much context about the film's background or significance is provided in the given sources, it stands out as an intriguing mix of narrative styles.
