Their legendary scrappy rise from nothing, their overcoming of personal tragedies and their battles are all woven together using rare archival footage, family photos and documents. From opening their first storefront theater by hanging a sheet on the wall and borrowing chairs from a funeral parlor to creating one of the top studios in America--four brothers built an empire on a dream and revolutionized Hollywood.
