Last Action Hero (1993)

Plot: Addicted to the fast, high-octane world of the fictional, no-nonsense Los Angeles cop, Jack Slater, portrayed by his favourite idol, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the neglected eleven-year-old film fan, Danny Madigan, can't wait to see a special preview of Slater's latest movie. With the help of his projectionist friend, Nick, and Harry Houdini's magical golden ticket, young Danny will soon become part of the story, living and breathing inside a glossy celluloid world filled with high-speed car chases; magnificent explosions; surreally good-looking women; ruthless Sicilian mobsters, and murderous henchmen. However, when a small dose of reality creeps in the fantasy realm, and vice versa, the invincible Jack Slater is in for a big surprise, up against his equally indestructible arch-enemies, in a world he barely recognises. Will the last action hero live up to his reputation?

Alternative Plot: Following the death of his father, young Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) takes comfort in watching action movies featuring the indestructible Los Angeles cop Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). After being given a magic ticket by theater manager Nick (Robert Prosky), Danny is sucked into the screen and bonds with Slater. When evil fictional villain Benedict (Charles Dance) gets his hands on the ticket and enters the real world, Danny and Jack must follow and stop him.
