What’s it about?
Purple Rose of Cairo meets Lethal Weapon.
​
Jack Slater is the ultimate action hero, his films bringing new meaning to the word Bombastic. Danny Madigan's his biggest fan, finding escapism from the grim realities of real life.
​
Things take a turn when Danny is propelled through the silver screen and into Jack's world of high-octane gun fights, impossible escapes and larger than life heroes and villains.
​
Danny and Jack must take on the bad guys on both sides of the screen, for a meta, reality bending adventure, both learning the importance of substance as well as spectacle.
