Jerome Bruckheimer (born September 21, 1945) is an
American film and television producer. He was born in Detroit, Michigan to
Jewish immigrants from Germany.
Bruckheimer graduated with a bachelor's degree in
psychology from the University of Arizona.
A film buff at an early age with an interest in
photography, Bruckheimer was a photo fanatic and would take snapshots when he
had the opportunity. After college, Bruckheimer moved to New York City where he
worked in the mail room of an advertising agency. Eventually, Bruckheimer segued
into commercial producing when he got wind of an opportunity to produce a motion
picture. Subsequently, Bruckheimer moved to Los Angeles where he's remained ever
since.
During the 1980s and 1990s, he was a co-producer
with the late Don Simpson of a string of highly successful Hollywood films for
Paramount Pictures. His first big hit was with 1983's Flashdance, and he had a
number of others including the Beverly Hills Cop films, Top Gun, and Days of
Thunder. Most featured elaborate special effects, a thumping pop music
soundtrack, simplistic plots, and highly telegenic if sometimes improbable cast
members. As a result, his films are often a financial success while being
critically panned.
Despite the setback of the untimely death of
Simpson in 1996, Bruckheimer has continued to produce a large number of action
movies often working with Director Michael Bay for several hits including
Armageddon. His other hit movies produced include Remember the Titans, Black
Hawk Down and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Since 1997 he has branched out into television,
creating a number of police dramas of which CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has
been the most successful. He has also produced the reality game show The Amazing
Race.
Bruckheimer has been married twice, and currently
lives in Bloomfield, Kentucky.
In May 2006, he was honored with a doctor of fine
arts degree from the University of Arizona's College of Fine Arts.
