Hooper is a 1978 American action comedy film[4][5] directed by Hal Needham and starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jan-Michael Vincent, Brian Keith, Robert Klein, James Best and Adam West. The film serves as a tribute to stuntmen and stuntwomen in what was at one time an underrecognized profession.[6] At the time of filming, Field and Reynolds were in a relationship, having met on the set of Smokey and the Bandit the previous year.
