As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader's mentor.

Plot Synopsis: Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is released from prison in 2001 after eight years behind bars. He leaves the prison hoping to find a car waiting for him but there is no one. Hes alone.

Seven years Later, Jacob "Jake" Moore (Shia Lebouf) is awakened in his apartment by his girlfriend, Winnie (Carey Mulligan). Jake turns on the television and there is an interview with Gekko on television. Gekko has become an author and a lecturer promoting his new book, Is Greed Good? Winnie gets upset and throws the remote at the TV after Jake doesnt turn it off. Winnie is Gekko's estranged daughter and wants nothing to do with him. Jake drives Winnie to the airport on his motorbike and she goes off to gather investors for her online political magazine.

Jake goes to work at Keller Zabel Investments, a banking institution. He tries to raise more money for a fusion research project which will be a viable source of alternative energy down the line but the rest of the board doesnt agree with him. Jake is one of the firms top brokers and the protégé of its managing director, Lewis Zabel (Frank Langella). Zabel has become disillusioned with the industry and doesnt understand how he can be told a loss is a profit. He gives Jake a 1.5 million dollar bonus and tells him to spend it and keep the economy going. Zabel also encourages Jake to marry Winnie and have a kid since he knows that growing old isnt for the weak and that Jake needs her.

Jake goes out to celebrate with his best friend and buys Winnie a ring. He mentions that Winnie doesnt really support marriage, given the outcome of her parents, but Jake knows that she loves him and he loves her. His friend asks about rumors that Keller Zabel is in danger, but Jake brushes it off.

The next day the companys stock starts crashing. Zabel doesnt come in to work so Jake goes and finds him walking his wifes dog in the park. Jake asks him if Keller Zabel is going to go under, but Zabel just tells him that hes asking the wrong question. The right question is: 'Who isnt going under?'

Zabel meets with the chairmen of the US Treasury at the Federal Reserve. He tries to arrange a bailout but he is blocked by Bretton James (Josh Brolin), a former businessman that Zabel had crossed 8 years prior when his company was going under. James insults Zabel by offering to buy Keller Zabel stock at 3 dollars a share (against its 75 dollar trading value from a week prior).

The next morning Zabel wakes up and kisses his wife after breakfast. He goes to a newsstand and picks up a bag of Lays and a newspaper. As the train pulls in, Zabel pushes towards the front of the line and jumps on the tracks. (IMDB)
