Rockefeller, Carnegie, Edison, Tesla, Hearst, and Pulitzer: their legacies live down through the ages, emblazoned on museums, universities, banks, charities, and the richest of American real estate. Ferocious drive, innovation and often sheer recklessness took these visionaries to the top of the rich-and-powerful list and ultimately made America the mightiest nation on earth. Despite their wealth and power, these titans of industry and captains of commerce were not always philanthropic, often driven by greed, ambition, jealousy and revenge. You can't build a fortune without making a few enemies. From Edison and Tesla's high-voltage war of the currents to Rockefeller and Scott's row over the growth of oil, AMERICAN TITANS relies on cinematic recreations and expert commentary to reveal what it took for the founding fathers of the Fortune 500 to steer the Industrial Revolution into the Gilded Age.

洛克菲勒、卡内基、爱迪生、特斯拉、赫斯特和普利策：他们的遗产流传千古，铭刻在博物馆、大学、银行、慈善机构和美国最富有的房地产上。凶猛的动力、创新和经常的鲁莽让这些有远见的人登上了富人和强国的榜首，并最终使美国成为地球上最强大的国家。尽管拥有财富和权力，这些工业巨头和商业领袖并不总是慈善事业，常常受到贪婪、野心、嫉妒和报复的驱使。不树敌就不可能积累财富。从爱迪生和特斯拉的高压电流之战到洛克菲勒和斯科特在石油增长问题上的争吵，《美国泰坦》依靠电影再现和专家评论来揭示财富 500 强的创始人是如何引导工业革命的镀金时代。
