With more twists and turns than a Hollywood thriller, this mind-blowing documentary exposes a devastating and scarcely believable true crime story that all begins in a swingers club in a small town in East Texas.
In the early 1920s, Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack Warner, four brothers from a Polish-Jewish immigrant family, fall in love with the movies when they attend their first nickelodeon in Pittsburgh, PA. After acquiring their own movie projector, the brothers move West to build a film studio from the ground up -- eventually developing sound technology that transitions the industry from silent films to "talkies." Amid the rise of Nazism during WWII, the Warners stand up against antisemitism through Oscar-winning films like Casablanca, but personal ambitions ultimately spark a family betrayal.

After Jack Warner sells Warner Bros. to Seven Arts, the studio navigates the political upheavals and cultural transformations of the 1960s and 1970s. Under steely strategist CEO Steve Ross' leadership, the company maneuvers itself through the dying days of the studio system into an era of unmatched creative freedom with films like Dirty Harry, A Clockwork Orange and Blazing Saddles. Meanwhile, in the realm of TV, the studio brings relatable characters to the small screen with shows like Alice and launches the single most important TV event in history with Roots.

In the high-rolling 1980s, a new generation of filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton, helps crown Warner Bros. as a forerunner in Hollywood's blockbuster age. As Steve Ross negotiates the historic Time-Warner merger, the company emerges as one of the biggest entertainment giants in the world, with the ability to funnel resources into bigger and bolder stories for TV and film while preserving its legacy through an archive, museum and film preservation initiatives.

As the company enters the new millennium, business partnerships with AOL and, most recently, Discovery transform the company into a global entertainment empire. Through it all, the studio maintains its lineage as a family affair, championing authentic voices and bold storytellers who harness the latest technologies of the digital age -- from the magic of Harry Potter to the draw-dropping effects of The Matrix and more.
