Craig Baldwin's film is a rapid-fire, pulp serial-cum-political-tract that critiques California's major industrial complexes: military, entertainment, and religious. It features three characters, Jack Parsons, Marjorie Cameron, and L. Ron Hubbard, whose histories are mashed up with archival footage to create a bizarre new form of cinema. The film explores the repurposing of the popular imagination in postwar California, tracing the rise and convergence of New Age religious cults, the military/aerospace industrial complex, and modern-day myths.
