An inside look at the lives of the people who work in the stock market...
Here's what our members thought of this product. 5 stars = very good, 1 star = poor.
Welcome to the infamous "Boiler Room" - where tewnty-something millionaires are made over night. Here, in the inner sanctum of a flt-by-night brokerage firm, hyper-agressive young stockjocks peddle to unsuspecting buyers over the phone, sometimes one step ahead of the law, and are rewarded with mansions, Farraris and more luxury toys than they know what to do with. 19-year-old college drop-out Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) has just joined the inner circle of the boiler room boys.
Seth want to earn just two things in life: A million dollars and his perpetually disappointed father's respect. But as Seth watches his colleagues get richer and his customers get poorer, he begins to wonder just what makes the money go reound the boiler room. His insatiable curiosity begins to lead to a series of fatal choices and a federal investigation that brings him to the brink of losing everything - not just his friends, his job and the millions promised to him, but his father. The longer sath stays in the Boiler Room, the more things begin to heat up.
