We’re pairing the new daredevil biopic THE STUNT DRIVER with this 1980 cult classic, part of our MOVIE MOVIES megaseries.

In an iconic Oscar-nominated performance, Peter O’ Toole (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA) is film director Eli Cross: a megalomaniacal madman commanding a circus of a production where paranoid young Vietnam vet Steve Railsback (LIFEFORCE) finds himself *maybe* replacing a dead stunt man, *possibly* falling for leading lady Barbara Hershey (BEACHES) and discovering that love, death and the mayhem of moviemaking are the wildest illusions of all.

“A bravura piece of moviemaking — a true popular work of modernist art. It makes the audience experience the uncertainty of the contemporary world.” — Rolling Stone
