Satrical life story of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynsky (played by Daniel Passer), is done as a pseudo-documentary and narrated by his "brother" (Paul Provenza). It follows his life from childhood to mathematical prodigy, all as a social misfit. He tries teaching at a university, retreats to a factory job, and them to his hermitage where he develops his penchant for sending mail bombs. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
