Description:
For half a century, radio was the dominant force in American life, the first true mass medium. Ken Burns' *Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio* explores the lives of three key figures who were instrumental in its invention and early triumph. Their genius, intertwined with friendship, rivalry, and animosity, played out in tragic ways. The film tells the story of Lee de Forest, a flamboyant inventor who created the audion tube; Edwin Howard Armstrong, a brilliant but reclusive inventor who pioneered FM technology; and David Sarnoff, a driven Russian immigrant who built the world's most powerful communications company.
