Der lange Tod des Stuntman Cameron (1980)
ActionKomödieDramaThrillerLiebesfilm
Der junge Vietnamveteran Cameron stolpert auf der Flucht vor der Polizei mitten in ein Set, an dem der exzentrische Regisseur Eli Cross gerade einen Kriegsfilm dreht. Dabei versursacht er versehentlich den Tod eines Stuntmans, woraufhin ihm Cross einen kuriosen Deal vorschlägt: Wenn Cameron für den verunglückten Stuntman einspringt, versteckt er den Gesuchten vor der Polizei. Der verzweifelte Cameron willigt ein und findet zunächst sogar Gefallen an seiner neuen Aufgabe, nicht zuletzt da er sich auch in die attraktive Hauptdarstellerin Nina verguckt. Doch schon bald bekommt er das Gefühl, dass Cross alles tut, um einen möglichst authentischen Film zu produzieren. Während Cameron für den manipulativen Filmemacher zunehmend gefährlichere Stunts vollführen soll, fällt es ihm immer schwerer, Wirklichkeit und Filmrealität auseinander zu halten.
