Plot:
Steve Buck (Johnny Knashville) is a kind-hearted man who lives a monotonous life and works diligently at a boring copywriting job until an accident changes his life and his original beliefs. One day, Steve finally plucked up the courage to ask his boss for a promotion, and unexpectedly it was approved, but there was a condition - he had to fire Stavey, the company's long-time janitor. In order to ease the conflict and calm Stavey's anger, Steve decided to hire him himself. But at this time, Stavey lost several fingers due to a serious accident. He faced huge medical expenses without insurance. In order to save Stavey's fingers, Steve had to get a large sum of cash in a short time. At this time, he thought of his hypocritical uncle Gary (Brian Cox), but when he went to his house, he found that Gary was still worried about his gambling debts. Steve, who was desperate, had to come up with a crazy idea - pretend to be a mentally retarded person to participate in the disabled sports meeting! ! This way, he can get a considerable bonus. The biggest opponent he will face is Jimmy (Reynard Ferrars), a pentathlete who has won gold medals six times. At first, Steve thought that as a normal person, he would win the gold medal. But he soon found that it was not so easy to be a mentally retarded person. He fell in love with Lynn Sheridan (Katherine Heigl), a volunteer at the Disabled Games, a beautiful, generous and kind-hearted girl, but he had to hide his feelings and identity. In addition, Steve tried to establish friendships with other energetic opponents, but was played around by them. What's worse, those opponents soon saw through Steve's tricks, but they did not report him. Instead, they decided to train Steve with all their strength to turn him into the best athlete and defeat Jimmy. Because they wanted to see last year's champion, the arrogant Jimmy, lose. After a series of special training, Steve's stumbling and stumbling running skills have reached their peak, and he is ready to win the gold medal for his friends... Main Creation Team Director--Barry Blaustein Barry Blaustein is a screenwriter. He is good at exaggerated and humorous comedy style. In particular, he has written a large number of classic works for the famous Hollywood comedian Eddie Murphy, such as "Coming to America", "The Saint", "The Nutty Professor", "The Nutty Professor 2", etc. In 1999, he wrote and directed the documentary "Beyond the Mat", which tells the life of four professional wrestlers and won unanimous praise from critics. This film was rated as one of the best films of the year by the Los Angeles Times and won awards at numerous international film festivals. "Trapped" is Barry's second film, which is very different from the previous one, but I believe that with his background as a comedy screenwriter and his innate sense of humor, he will definitely be able to develop his own unique style in the field of comedy. Starring Johnny Knoxville Johnny Knoxville was born on March 11, 1971 in Nashville, Tennessee. His father was a used car salesman. At the age of 8, he caught a cold, pneumonia and bronchitis at the same time, and developed severe asthma, which almost killed him! Afterwards, Johnny believed that this experience of surviving a disaster made him believe that he was invincible. Unlike his show, Johnny took a completely conventional path to learn acting. He was admitted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for professional studies. But what really led him to the road to success was his work experience in a magazine. He persuaded his boss Jeff Tremaine to let him turn his ideas into reality, so "Jackass" was born and quickly became a household name! "Jackass" is an absurd and extreme reality show. In this show, a group of lunatics play all kinds of dangerous, exciting and incredible things just to see how people will react. The purpose is to challenge the limit and deal with those sissy cowards. This unique program was highly sought after by American audiences as soon as it was broadcast, and Johnny became an idol worshipped by young people overnight. During the production and filming of "Jackass", Johnny tried extreme things many times and was seriously injured repeatedly. In particular, during the filming of "Jackass: The Movie", he was unconscious three times. However, Johnny's vision is not just focused on television. In recent years, he has been filming various types of movies and trying to develop on the big screen. From a minor role in "Men in Black 2" to the protagonist in "The Righteous One", and now to the "Trapped" that he is the only one to take the lead, Johnny has become a hot star in Hollywood in just a few years, and his name has become the most effective guarantee of box office appeal. Film review As early as when watching the reality show and movie version of "Jackass", I found that Johnny Nashville is not a simple person. He has moved things that are unimaginable and difficult for modern people to do on the screen. In the eyes of ordinary people, everything he did was crazy, irrational, and even perverted, but on the other hand, it was precisely his behavior that inspired people's subconscious consciousness to challenge traditions and break conventions, and gave a shot of adrenaline to those who were usually mediocre and cautious. I think this is why this show is so popular in the United States. In this new film "The Trap", the character he plays once again plays a "fool" in order to help others. Think carefully, is this him in real life? He infiltrated the audience with a plain and even vulgar character, entertained everyone, and awakened everyone that he is actually the smartest person. The so-called great wisdom appears foolish refers to this kind of person...
