When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to see, that being the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short.

Insider’s tip: “A true crime story and a madcap comedy, a heist movie and a scalding polemic, The Big Short will affirm your deepest cynicism about Wall Street while simultaneously restoring your faith in Hollywood” (A. O. Scott, The New York Times). Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times adds: “It’s impossible to fathom how writer-director Adam McKay has turned this material into one of the funniest and yet most sobering, not to mention one of the most entertaining movies of 2015.” Winner of the Oscar for Best Writing for an Adapted Screenplay, the film has garnered 30 wins from 66 nominations.
