Film Description

Based on a true story, this quirky comedy chronicles Canadian daredevil stuntman Ken Carter’s (Jay Baruchel) quest in the 1970s to execute the bold stunt of launching a rocket car one mile across the St Lawrence River from Canada to the United States. Creating increasingly absurd challenges along the way, including a largely one-sided rivalry with Evel Knievel (Ben Foster), The Stunt Driver reunites Baruchel with Goon director, Michael Dowse.
