Summary Escapes (2017)

A documentary chronicling the life of actor and Blade Runner screenwriter Hampton Fancher.

Director Michael Almereyda showcases the storytelling talents of Hampton Fancher - flamenco dancer, film and TV actor, and the unlikely producer and screenwriter of the landmark sci-fi classic Blade Runner, as well as screenwriter on the upcoming sequel. Fancher's running commentary - with a little help from Philip K. Dick - works in concert with extensive archival footage as Fancher relates death-defying escapades from a remarkable life. Romantic misadventures, two brief marriages, and wayward acts of jealousy, chivalry, and friendship are mirrored in a parallel universe where Fancher plays cowboys, killers, fops, cads, and the occasional hero.
