Movie Magnum Thrust (1981) is not real?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082698/ has no evidence of it's existence outside this site. I checked newspapers for listings and reviews and found no mention.

I googled "magnum thrust stuart whitman".
Several other results are likely just echoes of IMDb. Hopefully BFI does their own authentication; they have exactly the same data as IMDb.
The Wayback Machine does not have the IMDb page archived, but it does have the BFI page in 2019, indicative of nothing.

You didn't need ask the BFI actually as they always had this note for their entry already:
I will post some more findings here. It's mentioned in some books and memoirs which are pretty interesting, it includes cons, fraud, death, murder, suicide, bodies found in deserts etc..
Here is a mention from this book named "James Dean in Death: A Popular Encyclopedia of a Celebrity Phenomenon"
And this is from May 1995 issue of Premiere magazine, in a year sometime after his death and it calls the project as "proposed":
