The Illustrated Man is a 1969 science fiction film based on three short stories from Bradbury’s 1951 collection of the same name. Directed by Jack Smight, the film stars Rod Steiger as a man whose tattoos on his body represent visions of frightening futures. Per Bradbury: ‘Rod was very good in it, but it wasn't a good film…the script was terrible.’
