Description: Peter Bogdanovich's first feature film is a thinly disguised account of ex-Marine Charles Whitman who, after murdering his mother and his wife, armed himself with a number of rifles and handguns and, on a sunny 1966 Texas morning, began a shooting spree that killed 14 people and wounded 32 people. Bogdanovich's version tells two stories concurrently, the first one about veteran horror film actor Byron Orlok who is in Los Angeles for the premiere of his new and latest film. He has grown bitter, is tired of the film industry, thinks his type of horror has become passé and wants to retire. Meanwhile, in suburbia, gun-crazy Bobby Thompson goes on a rampage in order to get even with his father by first shooting at people from the top of a water tower and then from behind a drive-in theater screen.
