Write a short summary of what happens in the film

To tell an entertaining, humorous and feature-highlighting story, we created a fictional eccentric popular personality who becomes a film director. His ambition is to make the most exciting, thrilling and gripping car action movie ever. However, little does he know that his Producer has booked the Hyundai SUV models, and they come equipped with Hyundai’s SmartSense Safety Technology. The director gets increasingly upset and angry as he struggles to create any dramatic action shots because the of car’s safety features. Eventually, he loses his patience and decides to scrap the film completely – he gets in one of the cars and escapes in comfort and safety to a stress-free life.
