Description: Glory scandal downfall fame and rebirth discover the dramatic story of the rebel auto industry titan behind the stainless - steel - bodied gull - winged sports car we all know and love from Back to the Future. The tale you thought you knew: De Lorean recounts the life and career of John Z. De Lorean from his successful career with General Motors where he was instrumental in launching the Pontiac GTO and jump - starting the 60s muscle car phenomenon to the founding in 1975 of the De Lorean Motor Company and its 1981 launch of the now - iconic sports car bearing his name. Although a decidedly American car and company the De Lorean story blends an interesting cocktail of Italian design British financial backing and a built - from - the - ground - up factory in politically fraught Belfast. The story turns beginning in 1982, as De Lorean is entrapped in a drug sting and the company goes into bankruptcy. Though John De Lorean was acquitted ultimately the original DMC was done all too soon. After the Los Angeles drug - trafficking trial John De Lorean worked tirelessly for the rest of his life to revive his car his name and his company unfortunately with limited success.
