'''Jerry Bruckheimer Films Inc.''' is an American film production company founded in December 1995 by '''Jerry Bruckheimer''', who had dissolved [[Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films]] after cutting ties with his longtime partner Don Simpson (who died in January 1996). The first film produced by the company was ''Con Air'', released on June 6, 1997. Until 2014, most of the company's films were released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (now [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]]) under its [[Walt Disney Pictures]], [[Hollywood Pictures]] and [[Touchstone Pictures]] labels (except for films released by [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Screen Gems (1998-present)|Screen Gems Pictures]] or [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]). In 2013, the company shifted its ties to [[Paramount Pictures]]; however, it became fully independent in 2020. |

'''Visuals:''' The camera zooms down a road |
'''Visuals:''' The camera zooms down a road as a thunderstorm brews and lightning flashes multiple times. As the camera stops at a leafless tree, a lightning bolt strikes it, and leaves instantly appear on the tree. The scene freezes and zooms out in a box, and the text "JERRY BRUCKHEIMER" appears below it, with an underline and the spaced-out text "FILMS" underneath it. |
||
'''Trivia:''' |
|||
* According to Jerry Bruckheimer, the lightning bolt is meant to represent "the power of an idea." The tree was modeled after an oak on a property in Kentucky that Bruckheimer owns. He photographed the tree and sent it to Dream Quest Images, who created the logo.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220325134444/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/movies/movie-studios-strive-for-ever-more-inventive-logos.html</ref> |
|||
* The lighting bolt comes from the Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films logo, and was intended to have two bolts for Bruckheimer and Simpson, not unlike the Simpson/Bruckheimer logo. After Simpson died, only one bolt was featured. |
