The Fall Guy, the new action-comedy film from director David Leitch, adds a surprisingly dark twist to its otherwise comedic premise. What starts as a lighthearted caper about a stuntman searching for a missing actor takes a sinister turn when the truth about the actor’s motives is revealed.
Tom Ryder: The Villainous Actor Behind a Deadly Conspiracy in The Fall Guy
Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Tom Ryder, the actor who goes missing, prompting his stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) to search for him. As the story unfolds, it’s revealed that Ryder was involved in the death of Colt’s fellow stuntman Henry, and is conspiring to frame Colt for the murder.
Ryder’s motive is rooted in his hatred for stuntmen, whom he sees as stealing his glory. With the advent of CGI and deepfake technology, he believes the age of stuntmen is over and seeks to replace them entirely. His hatred runs so deep that he even admits to rigging an accident that caused Colt’s back injury, jeopardizing his career.

This harsh reality of the entertainment industry’s exploitation and capitalistic nature is a bitter pill for Colt to swallow.
Fortunately, the film’s director Jody (Emily Blunt), who has a history with Colt, believes in his innocence. Together, they hatch a plan to get Ryder to confess on camera during a climactic stunt sequence, risking their careers and safety to expose the truth and clear Colt’s name.
