About this movie

When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the true story and best-selling book by Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, Moneyball), and directed by Adam Mckay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) The Big Short stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.

A great entertaining movie that explains the 2008 crash. It takes complex topics and explains them really well. I highly recommend this movie.

Real eye opener to the corruption of big businesses and especially banking and finance industries.
