What’s The Fall Guy plot?
The Fall Guy’s plot follows a washed-up stuntman tasked with locating the missing star of his ex-girlfriend’s new movie.
Universal PicturesColt (Gosling) is down and out but sees hope when he works with ex-girlfriend Jody (Blunt) on her new blockbuster.
Things go awry when the film’s problematic star (Tom Ryder, played by the next James Bond… maybe) takes off. Determined to win Jody back, Colt sets off to retrieve him and runs into very real danger.
This is a romance film along with the action and comedy elements, so expect a love story thrown in with the explosions and laughs.
It’s a remake of the 1981 TV series of the same name. Lee Majors (who has a cameo in the remake) played Colt in it. A vehicle popular with fans, the 1981 GMC K-2500 Wideside, can be seen in the 2024 movie, too.
Is there a The Fall Guy trailer?
A full official The Fall Guy trailer was released by Universal Pictures on November 2, 2023. And there have been more since.
A second full trailer was shared on March 20, giving more insight into Colt and showing off David Leitch’s (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Bullet Train) dynamic direction.
We were also introduced to Taylor-Johnson’s Tom Ryder, who mysteriously goes missing from the set of Jody Moreno’s mid-production film.
Lots of hands are thrown but Colt has a good excuse: “I had no choice. I had to do some Jason Bourne sh*t!”
