Plot summary
A documentary about Drew Struzan, who painted posters for Star Wars, The Thing, Back to the Future, the Indiana Jones films and the Harry Potter films. It gathers his own account of that work together with interviews with his wife Dylan and his son Christian and with directors and actors. His art for Alice Cooper's album Welcome to My Nightmare is part of it. So is the rejection of his paintings for Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army and Pan's Labyrinth in favor of photographic posters, and the wider point that studios prize profit over quality.
