Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber took Sony for a ride in Hollywood - Thryft

Hollywood moguls' audacious Sony swindle revealed.

If you're fascinated by the underbelly of Tinseltown—the shrewd dealings, the outsized personalities, and the sheer audacity of Hollywood power players—you'll find "Hit and Run" gripping. Nancy Griffin lays bare the scandal of Jon Peters and Peter Guber with an almost cinematic flair, making it feel like you're getting an insider's look at a grand heist. It's a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of film, business, and high-stakes maneuvering.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

With the exception of Batman , Jon Peters and Peter Guber were barely involved with the most successful films they "produced." Steven Spielberg wouldn't allow them on the set of The Color Purple , and they werre on the set of Rain Man only once, briefly. With the help of one of Michael Milken's top lieutenants, they succeeded. It was the most audacious sales job of their This unlikely team got Sony to give them the richest deal in Hollywood history.
