"Gregory Orr gives audiences a special look at the man behind the myth, his grandfather, spanning over a century and from so many different vantage points." — Lise Romanoff

In celebration of Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary comes the definitive documentary, detailing the glorious legacy of cinema legend Jack. L. Warner, with never-before-seen clips, rare home movies, archival interviews, and 4K restoration of historical footage. 

From humble beginnings as children of first-generation Polish Jewish immigrants, Jack Warner and his brothers founded Warner Bros. Studios. For over fifty years Jack held the crown, and with it made movie history—from flickering silent films to wide-screen colour epics. Produced by Jack Warner's grandson, filmmaker Gregory Orr, this insightful documentary provides the rags-to-riches story of the man whose studio created many of Hollywood's most classic films, including Casablanca, My Fair Lady, Bonnie and Clyde and hundreds more.
