The Man Who Made Heroes Fly
What does it take to make the impossible look effortless? Vic Armstrong knows the answer-he's lived it. When Indiana Jones leaps from a galloping horse onto a Nazi tank, when Superman soars between skyscrapers, when James Bond defies death in ways that make audiences gasp, Armstrong is the unseen force making magic real. Holding the Guinness World Record as cinema's most prolific stunt performer, he didn't just risk his life for entertainment-he revolutionized how action films are made. His invention of the fan descender transformed dangerous falls from potential death sentences into controlled artistry. This isn't a story about recklessness; it's about precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of perfection behind Hollywood's most breathtaking moments.
