Stuntman

8/5/2025

Action director Sam Lee (Stephen Tung) always prioritized making a good and memorable film over the well-being of his crew. In the 1980s, while filming a scene that required a stuntman to jump off a bridge onto a moving truck, Sam’s directing skills couldn’t save an accident from happening, and a stuntman was paralyzed. In the modern day, Sam has turned to physical therapy and odd jobs to help out friends. He’s contacted by Cho (Yen To), a veteran director that Sam used to work with. Cho is making a film with international megastar Wai (Philip Ng), who began his career as a part of Sam’s stunt team. For his final film, Cho is returning to his roots and wants to make an action film that is in the 1980s style. Despite Wai’s reluctance, Cho brings in Sam to be the film’s action director
