Bad Boys franchise (1995, 2003, 2020, 2024)

National Treasure franchise (2004, 2007)
Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise (2003, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2017)
F1 (2025)
In this interview, Bruckheimer details what it took to make F1, his philosophy on calibrating backstory to big-budget action films and Brad Pitt’s true talent.
