90 Min.
Bunker77 is the wild true story of one of surfings most mysterious characters: Bunker Spreckels. He was Clark Gable’s stepson and heir to millions of dollars, but became a controversial surf star and expressed complete originality, like a cross between James Dean and Andy Warhol. He danced on the sea like no one else – even as his surreal persona exploded to consume him.
Bunker was pushing the limits of Hawaii’s most dangerous waves, raced across remote Africa in a Mercedes waving cash and a handgun on a pioneering expedition to J-Bay, and churned his way through a Los Angeles filled with celebrities, decadence, and reckless experimentation. He died in 1977, at 27 years of age.
