Title
Left a career in advertising to pursue his dream of being a movie producer.
Simpson-Bruckheimer became synonymous with big-budget action-adventure blockbusters during the '80s; the company dissolved in late 1995, weeks before Simpson was found dead in his home.
Teamed with buddy Don Simpson to form Simpson-Bruckheimer Productions. Its first feature, 1983's Flashdance, was a huge commercial hit.
First solo production was the hit Con Air (1997), followed by Armageddon (1998).
