Praise & Reviews
In my 35 years as a PM, I've never seen such a fun, poignant, and effective way to convey the most crucial lessons to drive project success. While it's particularly resonant for movie buffs, the clear explanations and nicely drawn parallels make it super-useful even if you've never seen ANY of the movies showcased here.”

Smart, funny, and highly insightful, this one is a rare sequel-worthy business book that proves managing a project can be just as epic as saving the galaxy... or escaping a T-Rex.
