One of the oldest and most recognizable studios in Hollywood,
Warner Bros. is considered a juggernaut of the entertainment
industry. Since its formation in the early twentieth century, the
studio has been a constant presence in cinema history, responsible
for the creation of acclaimed films, blockbuster brands, and iconic
superstars. These days, the studio is best known as a media
conglomerate with a broad range of intellectual property, spanning
movies, TV shows, and streaming content. Despite popular interest
in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga
cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of
four brothers - Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack - whose vision for
Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment as we know it. In
The Warner Brothers, Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their
family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in
the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in
Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on
against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of
domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink
the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged
audiences and kept their operations afloat - and even expanding.
During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the
limits of the Production Code and create important films about
real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of
the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their
lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. Paying close attention
to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders,
Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking
powerhouse. Equal parts family history and cinematic journey, The
Warner Brothers is an empowering story of the American dream and
the legacy four brothers left behind for generations of filmmakers
and film lovers to come.
