'A blast' - Ian Rankin 'A lively celebration of 1980s action stars' - The Times 'Hugely entertaining' - Edgar Wright Now with BONUS MATERIAL, from the editor of Empire magazine this is the behind-the-scenes story of the golden age of the action movie, the stars who ruled 80s and 90s Hollywood and the beloved films - from Die Hard to The Terminator - that made them famous. Charting Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's carnage-packed journey from enmity to friendship against the backdrop of Reagan's America and the Cold War. It also reveals the untold stories of the colourful characters, from Steven Seagal to Bruce Willis, who ascended in their wake.
