------------------------------

American Genius
Behind every great genius was a great rival - an unstoppable adversary whose incredible vision, determination, and ambition is their match. Out of their struggles came the world's most brilliant inventions, the spoils of the heated battle between competitors.
Now, in a stunning 8-part mini-series, the ultimate rivals for posterity clash. Will they lose everything or triumph over their rivals to be forever remembered in the annals of history? American Genius reveals the fateful forces behind the greatest competitions for innovation. Their conflict plays out on the most epic and human of scales, pitting history's brightest minds against each other, in the race to lay claim to the future.


1) Jobs vs Gates
In the 1980s, two of America's most brilliant minds, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, battle to dominate a new age and, in the process, revolutionize billions of lives. Up until this time, most computers were behemoth machines that sat in research labs and university tech centers, largely inaccessible to the public - but not for long. Relive Gates and Jobs' heated battle to bring the personal computer to the masses. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, entrepreneur and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, politician and businessman Mitt Romney, and others weigh in on the innovation race that forever changed technology and put Microsoft and Apple on the map.

2) Wright Brothers vs Curtiss
The race for flight is chronicled as aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright face off against Glenn Curtis in a bitter rivalry that puts lives at risk. After developing the airplane, the Wright brothers keep the technical details under wraps for years, out of fear of losing control of their invention. Meanwhile, Curtis boldly goes public with his airplanes and innovations and quickly becomes a popular face of flight. The Wright brothers, now patent holders in control of all powered flight, counter with lawsuits; as they hold fast, they stifle innovation in the very industry they've launched. Go inside the rivalry so heated that, when Wilbur dies, Orville blames Curtis for driving him to exhaustion. Scientist Bill Nye, famed theoretical physicist Michio Kaku and others offer insight into the epic showdown that laid the groundwork for modern aviation.
