As he prepares to attempt a world record motorcycle jump, stuntman Evel Knievel (George Hamilton) reflects on the experiences that led to this critical moment in his career. From making mischief in his stuffy hometown, to meeting his wife Linda (Sue Lyon) and establishing himself as a bonafide daredevil, Bobby Knievel finds his life’s calling in pursuing the impossible. Evel Knievel, which includes footage of the infamous Caesar’s Palace stunt and a world record attempt filmed specifically for the film, is a testament of the passion, grit, and never-say-die spirit that bore a legend.
