Line 2:
A drama about a bank during the financial crisis of 2007-2010. The story centers on a trading firm that recently went through a cycle of layoffs. One of the laid off staffers, Eric Dale, passes on a program that he was in the middle of working on to his protege, Peter Sullivan. Later that night, Peter examines the program and discovers a fatal problem in the firm's holdings and this discovery propels the movie.

* [[All-Star Cast]]: Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, Demi Moore, Paul Bettany, and Stanley Tucci.
* [[Bottle Episode]]: Close. Most of the scenes occur in a single office building, partially to save money on filming.
Line 25 ⟶ 27:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Many views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline from office windows, building roofs and helicopters.
* [[You Fail Economics Forever]]: The top executives of the bank don't understand the products they sell. Which unfortunately is realistic.
