Hooper is a 1978 action-comedy film starring Burt Reynolds, based loosely on the experiences of director Hal Needham, a one-time stuntman in his own right. It serves as a tribute to stuntmen and stuntwomen in what was at one time an underrecognized profession.
Co-starring in the film are Sally Field, Jan-Michael Vincent, Brian Keith, Robert Klein, James Best and Adam West.
Veteran stuntman Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds), known in Hollywood as "the greatest stuntman alive," is currently working as Adam West's stunt double on the fictitious action film The Spy Who Laughed at Danger.
Hooper's on-set antics and wisecracks are a trial for egotistical director Roger Deal (Robert Klein), and even more so for Deal's bossy assistant Tony (Alfie Wise), who gets Hooper in trouble with the Humane Society over a stunt involving a dog. Added to which the years of self-abuse on and off the set are fast catching up with Hooper, with the numerous stunts—and an addiction to painkillers—beginning to take their toll on his body.

They come out of nowhere
And push you outta control
Perplexed you feel
Your senses scream they're real
Obscuring thoughts are all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Paranoia is guiding your life
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Obsession is ruling your mind
Alone, there's no resort
Conspiring friends you can't trust
Trapped by your instincts
Nobody around to believe
Wide eyes are always all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Helpless you crawl
Insanity beast devours
Voices from within
Announcing the final hour
[Solo]
Corroding inside your brain,
Thoughts that won't give up
Devising anxiety, seducing your soul
Evidences so unreal, eyes and ears misled to feel betrayed
The nightmare now is on
