Viva Knievel! (1977)

In the high-octane world of daredevil stunts and death-defying leaps, legendary motorcycle stuntman, Evel Knievel, is lured with the promise of fortune to perform his most audacious feat yet in Mexico. Unbeknownst to Evel, a sinister plot is brewing behind the scenes, a scheme that plans to transform him from fearless showman to an unwitting mule in a dangerous drug smuggling operation. His body is slated to become the vessel for transporting illicit cocaine into the U.S. Amidst this dangerous game of deception, Evel's loyal but alcoholic chief mechanic stumbles upon the nefarious plan. However, before he can warn Evel, he's whisked away into a rehab clinic, an environment Evel dismisses as unnecessary for his friend. The mechanic's forced absence and his attempts to reconcile with his estranged son add more layers to this intricate web of personal battles and professional rivalries. In the midst of preparing for his greatest stunt, Evel also finds time to touch lives, extending his charismatic charm to his ardent fans and providing solace to lonely orphans. All the while, his formidable rival, envious of Evel's fame and popularity, orchestrates the entire drug smuggling plot, intending not just to eliminate Evel, but also to amass wealth from the illicit operation. As the plot thickens, the mechanic finally manages to convey his chilling findings to Evel, yet the extent of the danger remains shrouded in mystery. "Viva Knievel!" is a thrilling journey through the life of a legend, where the specter of death looms not just in daring stunts, but also in the shadowy corners of betrayal and deceit.
