Aging Hollywood stunt man Burt Reynolds feels pressure from rising stud Jan-Michael Vincent and his girlfriend Sally Field to quit the business. The producer and director of his latest movie convince him to perform one last big stunt, a jump across a bridge in a rocket car, before he retires. This amiable action-comedy is filled with stunts of course, but also behind-the-scenes glimpses at movie-making. The chemistry between Reynolds and Field is palpable, a reflection of their real off-screen romance at the time, though it would end shortly afterwards.
