Stunts
After a stunt man dies while he is involved in the making of a motion picture, his brother takes his place in order to find out what really happened. Expert stuntman Glen Wilson is called in to finish stunts for a movie plagued by production problems. It turns out that his younger brother Greg, also a stuntman, was killed in an accident during filming or so it seemed. En route to the shooting location, he picks up B.J. Parswell, an ambitious journalist who's doing a story on stuntmen. Things get hairy when his stuntmen pals are getting killed one by one during the stunts. —Jmac1988 An action movie is filming along the back roads and in the countryside around San Luis Obispo, it in which the actors, which includes lead actress Judy Blake, the wife of the movie's producer Alvin Blake and the daughter of Jack, one of the studio executives overseeing the production, play second fiddle to the action sequences led by the joint stunt and special effects teams. In one of the stunts gone wrong, stuntman Greg Wilson is killed, it unclear if it was an accident, Greg being ill-prepared for what even the stunt team collectively considers a difficult maneuver, or something else. In the production continuing in the old adage of "the show must go on", Alvin, behind the scenes, confides to Jack that the publicity will ultimately increase ticket sales, while director Earl O'Brien focuses more on getting the shot than on the welfare of the stunt performers, who, in his mind, if they are dead already, the cameras rolling for a few extra seconds will do nothing to save them. Called in to replace Greg is his older brother, Glen Wilson, a seasoned professional in the business, he who quit a more lucrative gig to take this one in honor of his brother. Glen and the rest of the stunt team trust each other implicitly in their knowledge of the what it takes to carry out these stunts. Coinciding with Glen's arrival on the set are two others. The first is journalist B.J. Parswell, who is writing a story spurred by Greg's death, but is centered on the question of what makes stunt people tick in light of the dangers. The second is Dave Allison, who wants to break into the stunt business, and showboats in front of anyone who will look to show he can do the stunts as good as anyone else. As the production progresses, it becomes clearer that Greg's death was sabotage, the questions especially for the stunt team of finding out who and why before more stunt people are killed. —Huggo
