Inspired by one of America’s most astounding David and Goliath stories. In 1900, at a time when the richest man in the world was John D. Rockefeller, and his company, Standard Oil, controlled 90% of the world’s oil supply, Ida Tarbell, whose father was destroyed by Rockefeller, takes on Standard Oil and wins, breaking up the world’s biggest monopoly and changing anti-trust laws forever.
Based on a true story. In turn-of-the-century America, when Rockefeller ruined her father during the Cleveland Massacre, a determined young reporter sets out to destroy one of the nation’s most powerful men.
