How Stunt Performers Film Dangerous Scenes Without Getting Hurt
Don welcomes a powerhouse panel of Hollywood’s elite stunt professionals, the athletes responsible for the most intense action you've seen on the big screen.

Cottle (Spider-Man, Black Panther), and Chris O'Hara (John Wick, Free Guy, Jurassic World) show Don the reality of "mitigating risk to create the illusion of danger," sharing stories from the sets of blockbuster films and explaining how they maintain a perfect safety record while pushing the envelope.
