La révolte de ses ouvriers à l'aciérie d'Homestead et la tentative d'assassinat dont est victime son associé, le brutal Henry Frick, amènent le roi de l'acier, Andrew Carnegie, à une grosse remise en question. Le plus grand danger auquel doit faire face Carnegie s'appelle John Pierpont Morgan, alors numéro un du secteur bancaire, qui a fait fortune en rachetant des entreprises en faillite. Il a l'intuition que l'électricité a de l'avenir et finance, dans les années 1870 et 1880, les travaux d'Edison, à qui il demande de construire des centrales électriques pour éclairer New York. Mais il vise plus grand : fournir l'électricité dans tout le pays. L'invention du courant alternatif par Tesla, l'assistant d'Edison, en 1884, plus fiable que le courant continu, contrarie son projet de monopole et menace son empire.
