Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “This is a feature film adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name created by Glen A. Larson, which starred Lee Majors.

A battered and past-his-prime stuntman, Colt, finds himself working on a movie set with the A-list star for whom he doubled long ago. When the star goes missing, and the film (which is being directed by Colt’s ex-girlfriend), is in danger of being shut down, he volunteers to investigate the disappearance and find the missing actor.”
