    The story behind TASER International, the only manufacturer of TASERs for law enforcement, and its founding brothers Rick and Tom Smith. Young entrepreneurs looking for an alternative to guns, the Smith brothers ended up revolutionizing law enforcement by perfecting a weapon that was promised to be both 100% safe and effective. Yet, as Rick and Tom's wealth and influence grow, the consequences of this new way of policing force them to reconcile their success with the path they took to get there.
