An uncensored look at Atari’s chaotic golden era, chronicling how the rushed 1982 release of E.T. on the Atari 2600 helped topple a billion‑dollar industry and how the barren valley south of the Bay birthed a fleeting cult celebrity. Featuring candid interviews, wild anecdotes and behind‑the‑scenes stories from the designers, the film plunges into the reckless, undocumented world of early video‑game production.
