Documentary about Gunnar Hansen, the actor who portrayed Leatherface in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974). Friends, colleagues, filmmakers, and fellow actors share personal stories and discuss the dichotomy between the maniacal chainsaw-wielding character he played on-screen and the very intelligent, creative, soft-spoken man he actually was in real life.

Hansen comes across as grounded and likeable person, someone who found himself in the spotlight, enjoyed the experience and its benefits and never lost sight of his fundamental self.
