A feature film adaptation of Robert Graysmith's book, Auto Focus is the story of actor Bob Crane, an affable radio show host who later found success on Hogan's Heroes, which he is best known for. But the movie delves deeper into Crane's personal life, particularly on his relationship with John Henry Carpenter, a video technician. With Carpenter, Crane had developed a hobby for sexual activity and documented his exploits along with Carpenter on video and photography equipment. Auto Focus is about Crane's newfound success on Hogan's Heroes right to his murder which to this day, remains unsolved.
Trivia
- Many critics had praised the film and called it one of the most overlooked releases of 2002. Many had cited that the movie's dark treatment of morality, reflected the movie's overall tone.

- The DVD release features a remarkable 20-minute documentary, Murder in Scottsdale, delving into the initial murder investigation and subsequent revival some 10 years later.
