Cannon Films: Low Budgets and High Stakes

In the neon-soaked landscape of 1980s cinema, two Israeli cousins arrived in Hollywood with a dream of global domination and a stack of B-movie scripts. Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus didn't just make movies; they manufactured a high-octane, low-budget empire that pumped out hundreds of films, from Chuck Norris action flicks to arthouse prestige projects that baffled critics. By buying up cinema chains and betting everything on star power, they became the ultimate outsiders who briefly ruled the industry.
But behind the glitter and the constant production schedules lay a fragile financial house of cards built on debt, hype, and sheer audacity. This documentary synthesizes evidence from 194 verified primary and secondary sources, including internal corporate filings, contemporaneous financial reports, and decade-spanning investigative journalism, to chronicle the meteoric ascent and inevitable, spectacular disintegration of Cannon Films.
