Ted is an outrageous comedy about the Unabomber and his friends. Told through a "mockumentary" narrative, family members and acquaintances recount the life and times of Ted. Questions, such as how and why a genius with no social skills can seek revenge on society by sending mail bombs are probed as the film spans four decades of changes in America's social landscape. Ted is a black comedy about a human being who failed as a son, a brother, a lover and a teacher.
