Bruckheimer has aided in the repair and restoration of the historic clipper ship Cutty Sark, which is similar to the ships seen in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

The exhibition featured more than thirty pictures taken on set during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
That's all about him. What I get from his biography is even though he is super rich, he doesn't generous as Warren Buffet do. However, he still one of the best producer of time. Some of his works are masterpiece, I personally like to watch TV show and movies and for me his works is amazing. He's the one that makes me dream to be a producer so I can make Indonesia movies and TV show more better than now.
