Directed by Academy Award, Tony Award, and Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes, The Lehman Trilogy is the story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on a single evening. On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside, dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is soon joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. One hundred sixty-three years later, the firm they establish spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.
