Self-made multimillionaire F. Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco, decides to take the tobacco and food conglomerate company private in 1988 after receiving advanced news of the likely commercial failure of the company's smokeless cigarette called Premier, the development of which had been intended to finally boost the company's stock price.
