High Speed Money - Die Nick Leeson-Story (1999)
Aus armen Verhältnissen stammend, wird der Broker Nick Leeson von einem unglaublichen Ehrgeiz getrieben. Der aufstrebende Finanzmarkt Asiens bietet dem in Singapur für ein altehrwürdiges britisches Geldinstitut tätigen Spekulanten die Möglichkeit, mit Millionen zu jonglieren. Immer wieder gelingt es dem Hasardeur, satte Verluste mit riesigen Gewinnen aufzufangen, bis eine Pechsträhne ein Minus in Milliardenhöhe nach sich zieht, sein Bankhaus ruiniert und für ihn einen mehrjährigen Gefangnisaufenthalt zur Folge hat.
Der Regisseur: James Dearden
