Sir Frank Packer and Rupert Murdoch began one of the greatest rivalries in Australian history; It started when Australia’s most powerful man, Sir Frank Packer, invited “boy publisher” Rupert Murdoch to a tennis party in 1960. It was an encounter that would forever change their lives, the future of their country and the face of the world’s media.

Through 15 years of political intrigue, raw corporate power and high-rolling luxury, these fierce rivals used every means at their disposal to build their empires – and ultimately came to respect and admire each other as titans on the world media stage. Power Games takes us into the hearts and minds of the two families who have shaped Australia’s media landscape, reveals their private passions and heartbreak, their ambitions and failures, and the sheer thrill of playing on a big stage in front of the biggest audience they can capture. Visionaries, gamblers and king-makers, the men at the centre of Power Games take on the world and win.
