In fact, most of the movies simply use Phil's stories as window dressing for explosions and car chases. The one shining exception is Radio Free Albemuth, which John Alan Simon and his wife produced on a shoestring budget. It tells a fascinating story and is well worth watching, despite the lack of blood and gore, bombs and bullets. That film, like the book on which it is based, tells us that we are living in a police state where we have no real choice in our own lives. The government controls our lives and our very thoughts. That was Phil's story, and the film tells it very well.
