Storyline
Bud Fox is a Wall Street stockbroker in early 1980's New York with a strong desire to get to the top. Working for his firm during the day, he spends his spare time working an on angle with the high-powered, extremely successful (but ruthless and greedy) broker Gordon Gekko. Fox finally meets with Gekko, who takes the youth under his wing and explains his philosophy that "Greed is Good". Taking the advice and working closely with Gekko, Fox soon finds himself swept into a world of "yuppies", shady business deals, the "good life", fast money, and fast women; something which is at odds with his family including his estranged father and the blue-collared way Fox was brought up.

Trivia
Oliver Stone later admitted that everyone involved told him Daryl Hannah was miscast and told him to replace her, but he was too proud. This caused tension on set particularly with Sean Young who wanted the role herself. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At the beginning of the movie, Bud Fox and Marvin (John C. McGinley) are talking about the Challenger Explosion, and how Gordon Gekko was shorting NASA stock right after the explosion. While NASA is a government agency and has no stock to short, the notion that Gordon Gekko would do such a thing is clearly intended by Marvin as a joke: hyperbole on the theme that Gekko always thinks of a way to make a profit before anything else.
