The Wolf of Wall Street
Brilliant on first view and equally entertaining the second time, Martin Scorsese’s jet-black sex and drug-soaked comedy The Wolf of Wall Street is is based on the extraordinary biography of New York stock broker Jordan Belfort and powered by magnificent performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and the outstanding ensemble cast.
In 1987, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) takes an entry-level job at a Wall Street brokerage firm. By the early 1990s, while still in his 20s, Belfort founds his own firm, Stratton Oakmont. Together with his trusted lieutenant (Jonah Hill) and a merry band of brokers, Belfort makes a huge fortune by defrauding wealthy investors out of millions. However, while Belfort and his cronies partake in a hedonistic brew of sex, drugs and thrills, the SEC and the FBI close in on his empire of excess. Prepare yourself for a night out with The Wolf of Wall Street.
