Escapes

Escapes blazes a path through mid-20th-century Hollywood via the experiences of Hampton Fancher flamenco dancer, actor, and the unlikely producer and screenwriter of the landmark sci-fi classic Blade Runner. Fancher recounts episodes from his life romantic misadventures with silver-screen stars, wayward acts of chivalry, jealousy, and friendship 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 mans personal journey can unexpectedly shape a mediums future.
