Summary: Unscripted is a shocking inside story of the struggle to control one of Hollywood's greatest entertainment empires. It follows the story of Sumner Redstone, the founder of Paramount Global, who is increasingly unable to run the company he built, his daughter Shari Redstone, who has been groomed for power for six decades, and her challenger Leslie Moonves, the well-liked CEO of CBS, who plots a coup to take control of the business. The result is a damning portrait of how money and power work in Hollywood now, revealing the industry's struggle to adapt to the revolution brought by streaming, #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter. It reveals the lengths people will go to in pursuit of power and the carnage that ensues when they do.
