American Titans

American Titans (2015)

EndedDocumentary showHistory

Rockefeller, Carnegie, Edison, Tesla, Hearst, and Pulitzer: their legacies live down through the ages, emblazoned on museums, universities, banks, charities, and the richest of American real estate. Ferocious drive, innovation and often sheer recklessness took these visionaries to the top of the rich-and-powerful list and ultimately made America the mightiest nation on earth. Despite their wealth and power, these titans of industry and captains of commerce were not always philanthropic, often driven by greed, ambition, jealousy and revenge. You can't build a fortune without making a few enemies. From Edison and Tesla's high-voltage war of the currents to Rockefeller and Scott's row over the growth of oil, American Titans relies on cinematic recreations and expert commentary to reveal what it took for the founding fathers of the Fortune 500 to steer the Industrial Revolution into the Gilded Age. During this era of incredible industrial potential, there were many on the road to absolute power – these are the stories of those who out-fought, out-spent, and out-smarted their rivals to reserve their chapter in the history books and make America what it is today.

Daly vs. Clark

The battle for copper pits two of Montana's larger-than-life titans, Marcus Daley and William Clark, against each other in a clash over the resource that will power America's new age of electricity. In their quest to mine "the richest hill on earth," a bitter rivalry grows, driven by greed, riddled with scandal, and capped off by corruption so great that it fuels the passage of an amendment to the United State Constitution. Daley and Clark are responsible for developing a billion dollar industry, expanding railroads, and wiring a modern world.
