Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Coppola reportedly took the gig to fund his vineyard. Lucas wanted to revolutionize 3D cinema. Jackson wanted to heal the world. Only one of these goals aged well.
Captain EO closed in 1994, reopened after Jackson's death in 2010, then closed forever in 2015 — this documentary captures the original hubris before any of that context existed.
