A biopic about the early career of businessman Jerry Jones. From his unsuccessful beginnings as a pizza parlor guru, to his monumental purchase and complete reboot of the Dallas Cowboys Football team. After graduating from college in 1965, Jones borrowed a million dollars from Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters union to open up a string of Shakey's Pizza Parlor restaurants in Missouri. This venture quickly failed, and Jones was given a job at his father's insurance company Modern Security Life of Springfield, Missouri. A few months later Jones tried to climb his way back into the driver seat of an entrepreneur career, but quickly failed again when he was unsuccessful at buying the San Diego Chargers. Jones finally reached success, whenever he opened his own oil and gas exploration business in Arkansas, Jones Oil and Land Lease. On February 25, 1989, Jones shocked the world when he purchased the Dallas Cowboys from H.R. "Bum" Bright for $140 million. Soon after the purchase, Jones fired longtime coach Tom Landry, and hired his former friend, Jimmy Johnson, as the new coach. The film follows the heavily criticized Jerry Jones throughout his extremely controversial career. The ending scene of the film fast forwards from the 1990's to 2009, where Jerry Jones speaks at the opening ceremony of the new Cowboys Stadium. Based on the book, King of the Cowboys: The Life and Times of Jerry Jones, by Jim Dent.
