Plot Synopsis

THE TITANS THAT BUILT AMERICA is a three-night miniseries event that chronicles the incredible rise and fierce rivalries of industrial heavy hitters William Boeing, Walter Chrysler, JP Morgan Jr, and Pierre Du Pont. The ruthless, innovative and cunning titans battled each other -- and FDR -- to create entirely new industries at a time when the country was in absolute peril. The Great Depression ravaged not only the economy, but also the American way of life. Out of that rubble, this new age of robber barons emerges to once again help lift America to new heights. From revolutionizing the automobile and erecting monuments and skyscrapers, to conquering human flight and fueling the American victory in World War II, they show that fortune favors the bold and together they not only resurrect the nation in a time of need, but ultimately band together to help defeat our country's greatest enemy.

"A New Generation Rises" (Monday, May 31, 2021 from 9-11pm): From the ashes of World War I, a new generation of leaders emerge -- Titans of new industries that are transforming the nation. But as egos and rivalries come to dictate their actions, the country faces down the greatest financial crisis in history -- the Great Depression.

"Titans vs. FDR" (Tuesday, June 1, 2021 from 9-11pm): As the nation descends into the Great Depression, a new leader emerges -- a president proposing a bold New Deal for America. As the Titans struggle to save their businesses from collapse, the federal spending enables a new generation to rise up, build bigger than ever, and rescue the economy.

"United They Stand" (Wednesday, June 2, 2021 from 9-11pm): The same businesses whose quest for power and profit led the country into a depression must now use their industrial might to build America's war machine. To confront a global threat, the Titans must choose patriotism over profit and hand their factories over to the government.
