San Francisco and Los Angeles, 1967 to 1984. Two filmmakers who came out of the same building try to solve the same problem from opposite ends. A motion picture is a company that must be built, staffed, spent and then dissolved on delivery, and the people who made it own nothing afterward. Francis Ford Coppola answers by buying a studio — a lot, a payroll, a standing company. George Lucas answers by giving up his fee and keeping the rights nobody thought were worth anything: the sequels, the toys, the records. Within five years one of them has lost the lot at a creditor's auction and the other is building a ranch in Marin County out of the residuals. The same bet, taken two ways. Covers Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and American Zoetrope.
