Atlanta author celebrates stunt work in new book, 'Danger on the Silver Screen'

When thinking about legendary action films, from “Mad Max” to “The Matrix,” there’s one thing that they all have in common: the often underappreciated craft of stunt work.

Atlanta author and film historian Scott McGee highlights the profession’s importance with his new book, “Danger on the Silver Screen.” In the book, he breaks down the most thrilling stunts from the last century and celebrates the bravery and ingenuity of the people behind some of movies’ most magical moments.

The author joined “City Lights” senior producer Kim Drobes via Zoom to discuss the new book.
