This was amazing. The story was so well built up that the whole family got hooked. And when it peaked we all was almost screaming. A true and honest story about a family father with a rather dangerous work and now with the mind set on one specific super dangerous task.
How could a film about such an awesome stunt be so deadly dull??!!
The first few minutes are good,and the last ten minutes are impressive ,and well filmed. The rest is just drawn out and boring. Without commercials,this easily could've been done in 45 minutes.

It would have been easy to mess up this film. It could have been too simple and cheap, and come off like a Youtube video. It could have been over dramatized, and come off as campy. Instead, what we get is a really personal and great perseverance incredible story. Close look inside the life of a hard working every day man with one hell of a dream. Through pure chance, he learns of another dreamer, the son of the man who built Knievel's rocket. Together, the dream becomes real. And the film, follows this story perfectly. Never over the top, never losing the emotional appeal. The directing and editing were perfectly paced. Some of the most unexpected moments had me in tears.
A behind the scenes look of Eddie Braun as he attempts to recreate a famous Evel Knievel stunt. Shows a lot of what gets done behind the screen but also shows the toll it takes to be a stuntman for Eddie and his family. Definitely have a lot of appreciation for the under appreciated life of one of the top stuntman in the industry!! Worth a watch for anyone who has an appreciation for action movies!
A story of; nostalgia, family, friends, never giving up, facing fears head on, and pushing forward and succeeding.
