Summary:

Released in 1987, Wall Street is Oliver Stone's fifth feature film. This is the first fiction film to depict in such a widely documented way the American world of high finance at the time of the great deregulation during Reagan's presidency. Oliver Stone tells of the rise and fall of Bud Fox, one of the "golden boys" who thrived on Wall Street and elsewhere during that period. Through a series of unpublished interviews, including with Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas, the documentary highlights the astonishing destiny of the film. A cult film, Wall Street is considered a classic today. The exposure of the financial industry mechanisms set in place in the 1980s has not aged a bit. It has even proved premonitory of the repeated crises generated by such a system, be it the crash of October 1987, just before the release of the film, or the 2008 subprime crisis
