Adding to the Warner Bros. centennial collection are four Max Original documentary specials that delve into the rich history of the movie studio. Titled 100 YEARS OF WARNER BROS., the series explores the studio’s massive impact on art, commerce, and culture. The documentaries share insights and firsthand accounts from directors, actors, executives, journalists, and historians, tracing Warner Bros.’ journey from its humble beginnings in the early 1920s, founded by four brothers from an immigrant family, to its evolution into a global entertainment powerhouse following significant mergers in the 2000s.
With narration by Morgan Freeman and clips from iconic films and hit TV series, 100 YEARS OF WARNER BROS. offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into the indelible stories that have spoken to audiences around the world for generations.
The documentaries feature interviews with over 60 legendary filmmakers, actors, and executives, including Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey, Clint Eastwood, Tim Burton, George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres, Daniel Radcliffe, Keanu Reeves, Oliver Stone, and Robert De Niro.
