Set in the mid-seventies, THE STUNT DRIVER recounts the true underdog story of Canada’s Ken Carter (Jay Baruchel), the world champion stunt driver who battles personal demons and public doubt to attempt what everyone considers impossible – a mile-long jump across the St. Lawrence river in a rocket car.
The Stunt Driver is set for a theatrical release on September 25th.
