The rich legacy of cinema legend
Kirk Douglas is explored in Academy Award-winning actress and
documentary-filmmaker
Lee Grant's illuminating look at the personal side of a Hollywood royalty. With roles in such indisputable Hollywood classics as
Spartacus,
Kirk Douglas achieved the kind of cinematic superstardom that dreams are made of. As the torch was passed to his talented son
Michael in such efforts as
Romancing the Stone,
Wall Street, and
Basic Instinct, it became obvious to filmgoers that the Douglas dynasty would continue to thrive. Now, for the first time ever on camera, filmmaker
Grant conducts exclusive interviews with both
Kirk and
Michael, their friends, and various family members to offer the definitive look at both the public and private lives of the father and son who made Hollywood history.
