The Battle for Paramount Pictures | Killer on the Loose | 1

It’s early 1993 and television’s about to make a quantum leap into a multi-channel world where viewers can access movies from the comfort of their own sofa.

But to succeed he’ll need to first defeat his old boss – Paramount chairman Martin Davis.
