Evel Knievel

2004 · 91 min Drama TV Movie
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

Legendary daredevil Robbie "Evel" Knievel (George Eads) is profiled in this action-packed biopic helmed by John Badham. Long before extreme sports became ubiquitous, the hard-living exhibitionist vaulted his motorcycle over steep canyons, crates of venomous snakes and snarling cougars. But as Knievel amassed wealth and world records (along with 35 broken bones), his taste for liquor and ladies equaled his appetite for adventure.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a portrait of the daredevil as a deeply flawed American archetype, relying on the stark contrast between spectacular public stunts and private turmoil. It explores the unsustainable cost of building a legend on broken bones and sheer will.

What lingers after the credits is not just the thrill of the jumps, but the haunting image of a man consumed by his own myth. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Badham

Watch for a gritty, character-driven drama that pairs well with the roar of engines and a restless spirit.
