Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber took Sony for a ride in Hollywood

Hit and Run tells the improbable and often hilarious story of how two film packagers well known for spending other peoples money and ripping off credit for other peoples work went on a deliberate campaign to reinvent themselves as studio executives. With the exception of Batman, Jon Peters and Peter Guber were barely involved with the most successful films they produced. Steven Spielberg wouldnt allow them on the set of The Color Purple, and they werre on the set of Rain Man only once, briefly. With the help of one of Michael Milkens top lieutenants, they succeeded. It was the most audacious sales job of their careers: This unlikely team got Sony to give them the richest deal in Hollywood history.
