Where To Watch Hot Rod

Hot Rod is an American comedy film that follows Rod Kimble, an eccentric and wildly overconfident amateur stuntman who dreams of becoming a legendary daredevil. Despite his lack of skill, Rod is determined to perform dangerous stunts to prove himself especially to his emotionally distant stepfather, Frank.
