Kirk Simon
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fuller wore the same black suit for 50 years—he called it his 'energy suit' and owned 30 identical copies.
The filmmakers caught Fuller at 80, still furious that nobody built his floating cities. He died convinced he was ahead of his time; history mostly agrees he was adjacent to it.
