Why read it?

1 author picked Hit and Run as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s easy to get fleeced in Hollywood, where the intricacies of filmmaking are tough to understand, and the allure of red carpets is so powerful.

No investors have been fleeced more dramatically than Sony, which bought Columbia Pictures in 1989 and hired producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber to run it. Peters and Guber ran the studio like a middle school with money and drugs, enriching themselves and losing Sony billions in the process.

Griffin and Masters tell a story that’s as juicy as a soap opera and as serious as any business disaster in American history.

From Ben's list on behind the scenes in Hollywood.
