Rod Kimble (Samberg) is a would-be stuntman who believes his biological father once worked for the daredevil, Evil Knievel. Rod is now being raised by his mother (Spacek) and an abusive stepfather named Frank (McShane). Frank tosses Rod around like a rag doll during their weekly sparring sessions and generally doesn't miss a chance to abuse and humiliate his stepson. But when Frank becomes gravely ill, it is up to Hot Rod Kimble to save him. Rod has a brilliant idea to pull off a stunt more dangerous than any Knievel ever attempted in order to raise enough money to cure his stepdad...just so he can exact revenge and finally kick his rear! (Stacey Pendry)
