A Perfect Getaway is a 2009 American thriller film written and directed by David Twohy and starring Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez, and Steve Zahn.

After making a travel video in the car, they spend the night in a hotel before driving off in order to start hiking towards a remote beach.

Nick, discovering that Cliff is a screenwriter, attempts to convince him to write a script about him; he was a soldier and had his skull crushed, but survived thanks to an operation where metal plates were put in his head.

Gina, who saw the wedding photos with the real Cliff and Cydney on the camera, witnesses Rocky shoot Nick and attempts to escape.

Rocky's pursuit of her is stopped by the emergence of Nick, who survived the gunshot due to the previously mentioned metal plates.

Additionally, Anthony Ruivivar plays Chronic, a guide, and Dale Dickey and Peter Tuiasosopo appear as convenience store employees Earth Momma and Supply Guy.
