Out of all of this May's movies (and all the 2024 movies, TBH) there was one I was most excited for: The Fall Guy starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling! I haven't seen a big, silly action movie in so long and they always prove to be the perfect summer movies because they match the energy we all have when we're this close to sunny bathing suit weather.
The Fall Guy 2024 is absolutely a film made by movie lovers, for movie lovers. It's also director David Leitch's "love letter" to the stunt community, and gives them the celebration they deserve! Because while the Emmys have a stunt category, the Oscars don't, a point that Emily and Ryan actually brought up while presenting at the 2024 Oscars. "The Academy's history runs deep with the fearless work of the incredible artisans of the stunt community," Ryan said in a voiceover during the show. "Stunt performers and the action they design continue to create some of the most memorable moments in the history of cinema."
While The Fall Guy cast got me into the theater, the movie had plenty of unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Here's everything you need to know about the movie before you stream it this week.

The Fall Guy is available to rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ today, May 21. It hit theaters May 3, 2024, and if it's in a theater near you, I totally recommend seeing it on the big screen before it's too late. This is a great movie to see with all your friends, or for date night (either with your partner or on a solo date).
What's The Fall Guy 2024 film about?

The Fall Guy follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), who disappears from Hollywood after a stunt gone wrong. When the lead of his ex's (Emily Blunt) movie goes missing and derails the film, Colt jumps back into action to find him and save the movie. And hopefully, get the love of his life back while he's at it.
While it definitely has plenty of explosions, fights, and stunts, The Fall Guy 2024 is just as much a rom-com as it is an action movie! Emily and Ryan have such great chemistry, and their characters are goofy, hilarious, and lovable. There's the classic miscommunication we see in all our favorite rom-coms, and the two of them continually watch out for each other in a really sweet way. They complement each other so well and I NEED to see them in another movie ASAP!

The Fall Guy cast is crazy good — alongside Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, we see Stephanie Hsu, Hannah Waddingham, Winston Duke, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
What is The Fall Guy 2024 film based on?

While a lot of movies are based on books, The Fall Guy 2024 is actually based on a TV show. The series, which debuted in 1981, follows a stunt man named Colt who's also working as a bounty hunter. The show takes an opposite approach to the story (with Colt working as a bounty hunter instead of basically fighting them like Ryan does) and now I absolutely have to watch it.
Where can I watch all 5 seasons of The Fall Guy TV series?

You can rent episodes from The Fall Guy on Apple TV and Prime Video. The TV show stars Lee Majors as Colt and Heather Thomas as Emily Blunt's character Jody.
