Escapes (2017)

Documentary

Runtime: 89 minutes

Overview

Escapes blazes a path through mid-20th-century Hollywood via the experiences of Hampton Fancher โ€“ flamenco dancer, actor, and the unlikely producer and screenwriter of the landmark sci-fi classic Blade Runner. Fancher recounts episodes from his life โ€” romantic misadventures with silver-screen stars, wayward acts of chivalry, jealousy, and friendship โ€” matched with a parallel world of film and TV footage wherein Fancher plays cowboys, killers, fops, cads, and the occasional hero. Escapes shows how one manโ€™s personal journey can unexpectedly shape a mediumโ€™s future.
