Helldrivers
HELLDRIVERS takes us into the intimate inner circle of the traveling daredevil, the eye-popping world of the thrill show - live car crashes and intense precision driving. Through the amazing, 55-year career of 300-pound stunt driver Paul Riddell and his family of performers, we discover the Helldrivers' secrets, traditions, fears and motivations as vehicles fly, flip and smash around them. Here we see the wild heart of this family and feel their devotion to a way of life that has fallen to the fringe of society. Fifteen years in the making, HELLDRIVERS is the definitive story of these persevering stuntmen and stuntwomen. The life story of legendary Paul Riddell, sprinkled with stylish vignettes of helldriving?s infamous history, paints a complete picture of these remarkable people and their driving passion.In the early years of the 1930's to 50?s, helldriver shows were the largest, most enthralling performances in North America. Today, Helldrivers are self-confessed `dinosaurs?. Against endless difficulties, the Riddell family - Paul, his wife Toby, and their children Derrick and Ashley - are committed, virtually addicted, to preserving the annual tour of destruction that takes them 30,000 kilometers in three months, wrecking 180 cars. As the dust settles on their thrill show world, and the obstacles to success continue to grow, will they turn their incredible inner strength and courage to a new challenge: leaving it behind once and for all?
