About

Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.

An idealistic but struggling actor finds his life unexpectedly complicated when he stops a robbery while wearing the costume of Captain Avenger, a superhero character of a film he is hired to promote. He decides to dabble at being a superhero only to find that it is more difficult and dangerous than he ever imagined.

Can an out-of-work actor actually survive the transition from playing a superhero to being one in real life? Ritter brings infectious charm to this chaotic blend of slapstick comedy and genuine peril.
