Sumner Redstone was the CEO of Hollywood's most influential company: the powerhouse behind Indiana Jones and Star Wars, film studios and TV production companies, a fleet of private jets and tailor-made jewellery lines. He was notorious for his fearsome temper, his all-consuming ambition and his pledge to live forever. Until, one day, he lost control.

Unscripted is the story of an empire embroiled in scandal, a will in tatters, and a family on the edge of self-destruction. It sounds too outrageous to be true - except it is.

Critic reviews

"Addicted to Succession? Well, here's the real thing." (Hollywood Reporter)
All stars
Most relevant
The content of the story is very interesting and well written. Some of the details of the elder abuse can be hard to sit through. The narration was great. I would recommend it for anyone interested in corporate politics or fans of succession that are after some life wealthy family drama.

Great book

A tale (researched and told brilliantly) from another world that, if one didn’t know that it’s all actually real, it would be totally unbelievable. A must listen for the curious

What a story!!!
