Spinning Gold follows the rise of Neil Bogart from a struggling New York City filmmaker to a music industry giant. The film explores his innovative approach to marketing music, which includes creating personas for his artists and using extravagant stage shows to increase their appeal.
Bogart's Casablanca label represented some of the biggest acts of the era, including Kiss, Donna Summer, and Parliament-Funkadelic. The movie delves into the relationships he forged with these artists, as well as his tumultuous personal life and his battles with cancer.

The film is directed by Timothy Scott Bogart, Neil Bogart's son, and stars Jeremy Jordan as Neil Bogart, Samuel L. Jackson as George Clinton, Neil Patrick Harris as KISS manager Bill Aucoin, and Jason Isaacs as music attorney Allen Grubman. Other cast members include Taye Diggs, Melissa Benoist, and Lucy Hale.
