Money, power, politics, drugs, scandal, and fast cars. The incredible
story of John DeLorean is the stuff of a Hollywood screenwriter’s
dreams. But who was the real John DeLorean? To some, he was a renegade
visionary who revolutionized the automobile industry. To others, he was
the ultimate con man. For the first time, Framing John DeLorean recounts
the extraordinary life and legend of the controversial automaker,
tracing his meteoric rise through the ranks of General Motors, his
obsessive quest to build a sports car that would conquer the world, and
his shocking fall from grace on charges of cocaine trafficking.
Interweaving a treasure trove of archival footage with dramatic
vignettes starring Alec Baldwin, Framing John DeLorean is a gripping look at a man who gambled everything in his pursuit of the American Dream.

tragedy, and separating the myths from the facts. Full review Framing
