The life and
death of actor, comedian, and Hogan's Heroes star Bob
Crane, as depicted in the book by Robert Graysmith. In the
years after Hogan's Heroes was cancelled, Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear)
became obsessed with sex, teaming up with video technician Johnny
Carpenter (Willem Dafoe) to document his many exploits in a sort
of amateur pornography. Crane was murdered in 1978 in Scottsdale,
AZ, his skull crushed by a camera tripod, for which Carpenter
was tried and acquitted, in an eight-week trial.
