Description

The ad follows real life Hollywood stuntman Jacob Tomuri travelling the world performing stunts for the stars. However, unlike the stars he doesn't travel by private jet, he makes his own way there. The ad combines multiple film genres as our hero jumps from location to location. Accompanied by a voiceover, the ad explains how Jacob is able to get from set to set for less with Cheapflights.

Opening on a man hurtling across a Tokyo skyline to the voiceover; 'for my job I fly everywhere'. We follow him as he gets thrown through a Miami airport window, fights the Korean mafia, chased through an abandoned boat yard, battles in medieval France, our stuntman takes the fall for the stars. The ad comes to an end in an airport lounge, where Jacob shares a laugh with the villain from the opening scene as he plans his next flight.
