Simpson + Bruckheimer

Jerry Bruckheimer began his career as a film producer in the 1970s, starting with films like Farewell, My Lovely and March or Die. Throughout the 80s and 90s, he formed a close business connection with Paramount Studios, working hand in hand with producer Don Simpson. They kicked off their business relationship with the 1980s smash hit Flashdance, which raked in $95 million at the box office. He tripled that number with 80s blockbusters Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop.

In 1990, Simpson and Bruckheimer signed a $300 million, five-year deal with Paramount. That deal soon fell apart after the lackluster box office performance of Days of Thunder.

In 1996, Don Simpson passed away.

Bruckheimer forged ahead over the next few years, producing immensely successful films such as Black Hawk Down, Armageddon, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Simpson's death also marked the beginning of Bruckheimer's foray into television. He focused on creating police dramas at first and experienced lasting success with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Bruckheimer is also known for producing The Amazing Race.

Bruckheimer also has close ties with Disney, although they officially ended their business relationship in 2014 following the underwhelming box office performance of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and The Lone Ranger. After splitting with Disney, Bruckheimer signed a new deal with Paramount and began work on sequels to Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop.
