Fuller was a visionary environmentalist; his lightweight teardrop-shaped car spun on three wheels, held a dozen people and was originally meant to run on alcohol fuel.

The director Noel Murphy traveled to England, Spain and all over the United States, researching, filming and interviewing Jay Leno and Norman Foster.

[7][8] Fuller designed and built three car prototypes shaped like zeppelin and called them Dymaxion, short for Dynamic Maximum Tension.

[6][9][10] Murphy has acquired Fuller artifacts during his research, including a 1941 photo of a Dymaxion prototype taken just before an unsealed gas cap caused it to catch fire and be destroyed.

[6] The film has been screened at McPherson Museum of Art and History, Yale University and Earth Day Cabrillo College.
