The Movie Insider

In the early 1970s, Nolan Bushnell, an engineering student, puzzle-lover & game enthusiast, goes from fixing broken pinball machines to launching the Atari Corp., a video game manufacturer. The company's first product is a game called "Pong" that transfixes kids in suburban recreation rooms across the country and leads to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of video game sales. Within a few years, he sells the company to Warner Communications for $28 million.
