Biography
Jerome Leon Bruckheimer (born September 21, 1943) is an American film and television producer. He has been active in action, drama, comedy, fantasy, horror and science fiction. After working in advertising from college, Bruckheimer moved into film production in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, he partnered with fellow producer Don Simpson. Bruckheimer and Simpson's partnership continued until Simpson died in 1996. Bruckheimer has produced films including Flashdance, The Rock, Crimson Tide, Dangerous Minds, Con Air, Armageddon, Enemy of the State, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, as well as the Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, Bad Boys, Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure franchises. At the helm of his self-titled production company, he has produced films distributed by numerous film studios such as Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures and Disney. At the same time, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios have co-produced his television works. In July 2003, Bruckheimer was honoured by Variety as the first in Hollywood history to produce the first and second-highest-grossing films of a single weekend: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Bad Boys II. In 2023, Top Gun: Maverick earned him a nomination for Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards. His best-known television series are television dramas CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, CSI: Cyber, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Lucifer and reality competition series The Amazing Race, which would spawn a franchise with international versions. For the latter, he won ten Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2003, three of his television productions—CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Without a Trace and CSI: Miami—ranked among the top ten in the US ratings, making him the first producer to achieve this. Bruckheimer is also the co-founder (with the late David Bonderman) and majority owner of the Seattle Kraken, the 2021 National Hockey League expansion team.
