Cameron, a Vietnam vet wanted for attempted murder, stumbles onto the set of a First World War drama and is soon coerced by Eli Cross, its fanatical director, into performing a series of increasingly dangerous stunts. It’s not long before Cameron finds reality and the fantasy of the film world blurring. This dark comedy has attracted a cult following over the years. Peter O’Toole is on stunning, scene-chewing and Oscar-nominated form as the ruthless, take-no-prisoners filmmaker.
