"Framing John DeLorean" is a cinematic look at the meteoric rise and fall of the enigmatic businessman and a story so shocking it reads like the plot of a Hollywood movie. A maverick who defied the industry to create his company DMC, and realise his vision of a futuristic car which was plagued with numerous issues and disasters. In an effort to keep his business and jet setting lifestyle afloat, he became tangled in a CIA sting operation and was caught red handed, exchanging millions for the transportation of cocaine. This is the true story of greed and endless ambition behind the car that became the biggest cult item of the 1980s. Interviews with colleagues, employees, lawyers, friends and family who knew him best are interspersed with dramatized vignettes, including a performance by Alec Baldwin as John DeLorean as they all endeavor in their own ways to uncover the man.
