Sonny Hooper is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood's top stuntman, but he signs up as the stunt coordinator for a big-budget action movie with a pushy director. Ready to retire from the physical abuse, Hooper is gearing up to make the film's climactic stunt his biggest ever, but cocky younger stuntman aims to steal the glory with his more scientific, technology-oriented stunt methods.
