Ruthless financier Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) primes rookie stockbroker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) for an evil, backstabbing career in the world of high finance. Bud's life becomes high powered, and he moves into an upscale apartment and gets a beautiful girlfriend Darien (Daryl Hannah). All goes well–until Gekko instructs Bud to undermine Blue Star airlines where Bud's father Carl (Martin Sheen) is a union leader. The plan is to break down the company and steal retirement funds. This is too much for Bud to handle, and he ends up helping the authorities catch Gekko in illegal practices. Michael Douglas won an Academy Award for Best Actor.
