Three Kings

DreamWorks was founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. This trio were the biggest, most universally recognised, personalities in the film and entertainment world. The riveting DreamWorks saga represents the end of an era in Hollywood - the town's legendary moguls gave way to a new landscape of global conglomerates when DreamWorks was sold to Viacom at the end of 2005.

DreamWorks' golden period was 1999 to 2001. There was the critical and commercial success of Spielberg's own Saving Private Ryan, followed by three consecutive best picture Oscars with American Beauty, Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind. On the flipside, the studio nearly went bankrupt on the back of films such as The Island and War of the Worlds. Katzenberg's animation studio nearly crippled itself with the costly flop Sinbad, but then Shrek and Shrek 2 (the highest grossing animated film of all time) more than compensated.

Three Kings is a high-octane Hollywood insider adventure and a sobering lesson in how a collective dream can unravel. It is replete with characters driven by revenge, vindication and need of approval, showing the human stories behind the most fascinating and glamorous business on the planet. It is a vivid, engrossing portrait of a company built on (and brought down by) creativity, craziness, aspiration and delusion.
