Boiler Room
Welcome to the new American dream.
Directed by Ben Younger
Produced by New Line Cinema
A taut, morally corrosive thriller about ambition and complicity in a fraudulent investment scheme that seduces through glamour before revealing its rot.
A college dropout gets a job as a broker for a suburban investment firm and is on the fast track to success—but the job might not be as legitimate as it sounds.
