''The Stunt Man'' is a 1980 [[GenreBusting Action-Comedy-Drama-Thriller-Romance]] film directed by Richard Rush, [[TheFilmOfTheBook based on]] Paul Brodeur's novel. The story starts with a [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam veteran]] named Cameron (Steve Railsback) who is on the run from the police. He runs onto a movie set and accidentally kills the stunt man. Director Eli Cross ([[Creator/PeterOToole Peter O'Toole]]) offers to hide Cameron in exchange for him taking the stunt man's place. That, of course, is only the beginning.
