Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto is a 2012 book by

GTA: San Andreas.[2]

The book served as the basis for The Gamechangers, a 90-minute film about the development and cultural impact of Grand Theft Auto produced by the BBC and starring Daniel Radcliffe as Sam Houser and Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson.[3][4] Rockstar sued the BBC for making the film without their consultation.[5][6]

Reception

The

Washington Post says that "David Kushner tries to shed some light on the studio, but his success is limited by Rockstar’s reclusiveness".[7] It also notes the "parallels between this disruptive company and the antiheroes depicted in its games".[8]
