Sitting on top of his X-2 Skycycle, Evil Knievel’s wild ride took to the air on September 8th, 1974. We all look forward to sharing such a powerful example of these themes through Eddie’s narrative. Earning the Guinness Book of Records title of most broken bones in a lifetime, Knievel made his most daring and final jump at Twin Falls across the Snake River Canyon. They deeply understand the nuance of storytelling that center on both redemption and surmounting obstacles. We’re excited to partner with the Driven Pictures team. “Having the opportunity to showcase Eddie’s career and this often overlooked line of work is an honor for us.”ĭany Garcia called Eddie Braun’s story “a powerful experience that exposes the level of passion and fearlessness required by these invaluable stunt actors.

“I’ve been lucky to work with some amazing stunt performers over the course of my career, the entire stunt community is the backbone of our business,” said Dwayne Johnson. An earlier prototype was designed, names the Skycycle X-1 by Doug Malewicki and retired U.S.

Seven Bucks Productions’ Hiram Garcia and Brian Gewirtz are exec producers alongside Johnson and Dany Garcia. The Skycycle X-2 was a steam-powered rocket owned by Evel Knievel and flown during his Snake River Canyon jump in Idaho in 1974. Together, the two embark on an emotional journey to clear the Snake River Canyon, redeem the Truax family name and honor the legacy of Evel Knievel. Without any industry backing, Braun pours his life savings into his dream of jumping the Snake River Canyon and enlists the help of Scott Truax, the son of the NASA rocket scientist who built Evel’s original steam-powered rocket.
