Self
The feature documentary Searching for Mr. Rugoff is the story of Donald Rugoff, who was the crazy genius behind Cinema 5, the mid-century theater chain and film distribution company. Rugoff was a difficult (some would say impossible) person but was also the man who kicked art films into the mainstream with outrageous marketing schemes and pure bluster. Rugoff's impact on cinema culture in the United States is inestimable, and his influence on the art film business-from the studio classics divisions to the independent film movement to the rise of the Weinsteins-is undeniable. Yet, mysteriously, Rugoff has become a virtually forgotten figure. The story is told through the eyes of former employee Ira Deutchman, who sets out to find the truth about the man who had such a major impact on his life, and to understand how such an important figure could have disappeared so completely.

Este filme documentando é comumente referido como "A Idade do Ouro" do fisiculturismo, uma época na qual massa e tamanho importavam menos, e a simetria e definição do corpo era preferida. O documentário segue duas principais competições, o Mr. Universo da IFBB (para amadores) e o Mr. Olympia (para profissionais) em Pretória, África do Sul. Embora o documentário foque em Arnold Schwarzenegger, muitos outros fisiculturistas notáveis fazem aparições, incluindo Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, Mike Mentzer, Robby Robinson, Mike Katz, Albert Beckles, Ken Waller, Frank Zane, Paul Grant, Ed Corney, Serge Nubret e Danny Padilla, todos campeões talentosos em suas categorias.
