'Ted K' Review: Sharlto Copley Is the Unabomber in a Slow-Burning True-Crime Study 'Ted K' Review: Sharlto Copley Is the Unabomber in a Slow-Burning True-Crime Study 'Peter and the Farm' director Tony Stone takes an ambient, minimalistic approach to the life of notorious domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski. Guy Lodge, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail Running time: Running time: 121 MIN. Courtesy of Heathen Films For a criminal who revealed his agenda in exhaustively detailed black-and-white — via his famous essay “Industrial Society and the Future,” published in The Washington Post months ahead of his 1996 capture — Ted Kaczynski remains a somewhat unreadable figure. The domestic terrorist better known as the Unabomber killed three people and injured two dozen more in a national bombing campaign aimed at protesting man’s environmental destruction and technological dependence. Yet his manifesto shed little light on who he actually was, or how a mild-mannered math professor from Chicago grew into an eccentric, isolated survivalist and, eventually, FBI most-wanted material. That makes him a subject both fascinating and oddly resistant to dramatization, though that hasn’t stopped writers and filmmakers from trying over the years.
