Biopic of Bobby (Evel) Knievel – the showman, motorcycle daredevil.

His megga fame turns him into a heavy drinking womaniser and he gets too big for his ego.

His stunts become more and more crazy and he almost kills himself several times.

Finally the reporters start to call him a rip-off merchant and a quitter, which infuriates him.

Throughout all, his wife stands by him and tells him to get his life in order.

Evel makes a final comeback, all in all he made over 300 jumps of which 276 were successful but 14 ended in serious injuries.

He holds the Guinness world record for most broken bones, totalling 35.
