Description
Ken Carter is Canada’s Evel Knievel, but more bonkers. Buckle up for this throwback to the 1970s! The Canadian stunt driver has one big dream: to end his career with an outrageous stunt and go down in history. His plan? Jump a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental across the St. Lawrence River. Small sidenote: the jump is over a mile long. Based on the true story of “The Mad Canadian”, The Stunt Driver follows Carter’s mission to defy the laws of gravity all the while facing his own demons, public disbelief and his American rival, Evel Knievel.
