Movie Description The life of daredevil motorbike rider Evel Knievel is dramatized and brought to the screen by director John Badham (WAR GAMES) with this TNT TV movie. CSI star George Eads plays the intrepid and fearless Knievel, slipping into the trademark red, white, and blue jumpsuit with consummate ease. Some of his death-defying jumps are shown in all their glory, while Knievel's private life is shown as a rags-to-riches story which saw quite a few ups and downs due to his lust for partying. Director Badham uses all his experience on major feature films such as STAKEOUT and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER to make this a cut above the usual TV movie fare, while appearances from Jamie Pressly (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) and Beau Bridges (THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS) helps flesh out the cast.
