Dumb Money

2023 · 105 min

A zippy, funny underdog story that makes financial jargon feel like a thrilling crowd revolt, with a satisfying us-versus-them charge.

Directed by: Craig Gillespie
Genres: History, Comedy, Drama
Starring: Paul Dano, Shailene Woodley, America Ferrera

Tagline: When Wall Street rigged the game, he changed it.
Overview: Vlogger Keith Gill sinks his life savings into GameStop stock and posts about it. When social media starts blowing up, so do his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich—until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.
