• In 1990, Nintendo has a virtual monopoly on the video game industry while Sega is just a faltering arcade company with big aspirations and even bigger personalities. But that changes with the arrival of Tom Kalinske, a man who knows nothing about vid... show all eogames and everything about fighting uphill battles. His unconventional tactics, combined with the blood, sweat and bold ideas of his renegade employees, transforms Sega and eventually leads to a ruthless David-and-Goliath showdown with rival Nintendo.
