Episode I: The World Builders

Steven and George become allies. A tragedy stuns composer John Williams. Producers at Universal take a risk on a big idea. Set in the 1970s, this six-part original series tells the story of two big-dreaming filmmakers and friends, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and how their personal, career and health struggles led to a movie revolution, and the greatest box office flop-turned-triumph of all time: Star Wars.
