Summary: Richard Rush (writer/director) and Steve Railsback and Sharon Farrell (actors), appearing as a tribute to the late Peter O'Toole for the Anniversary Classics Series at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Film synopsis: Vietnam veteran Cameron (Steve Railsback) is on the run from the police when he stumbles onto the set of a war movie directed by megalomaniac Eli Cross (Peter O'Toole). But when the young fugitive is forced to replace a dead stunt man, he falls in love with the movie's leading lady (Barbara Hershey) while trying to avoid getting arrested or killed. Is Eli trying to capture Cameron's death on film? And what happens to a paranoid stunt man when illusion and reality change places? Completed in 1979 but unreleased until 1980, this innovative dramatic comedy/action thriller has become one of the most acclaimed cult hits of our time. Directed and co-written by Richard Rush.
