Plot Synopsis

AMERICAN DYNASTY is a one-hour docuseries that explores the backstories that made the families of the American aristocracy -- those whose names represent power in business, politics and the industrial industry. Every episode spotlights the way in which each family achieved fame and fortune, some of whom include blood rivalries, personal struggles and the resilience that only last names can hold. Each installment highlights a different family, including: The Vanderbilts, The Rockefellers, The Fords, The Gettys, The du Ponts, The Morgans, The Kennedys, and The Bushes. Special guests: David Rockefeller, great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller Sr.; Ben du Pont, great-grandson of Lammot du Pont; Patrick J. Kennedy, author and son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy; and late-night icon and automobile aficionado Jay Leno to discuss the Ford family. FOX News Media's Dana Perino, Bret Baier, Karl Rove and Larry Kudlow also provide expert commentary on the lasting legacy of these families.
