Plot: Greed is Good. This is the credo of the aptly named Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), the antihero of Oliver Stone's Wall Street. Gekko, a high-rolling corporate raider, is idolized by young-and-hungry broker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen). Inveigling himself into Gekko's inner circle, Fox quickly learns to rape, murder and bury his sense of ethics. Only when Gekko's wheeling and dealing causes a near-tragedy on a personal level does Fox reform-though his means of destroying Gekko are every bit as underhanded as his previous activities on the trading floor. Director Stone, who cowrote Wall Street with Stanley Weiser, has claimed that the film was prompted by the callous treatment afforded his stockbroker father after 50 years in the business; this may be why the film's most compelling scenes are those between Bud Fox and his airline mechanic father (played by Charlie Sheen's real-life dad Martin). Ironically, Wall Street was released just before the October, 1987 stock market crash. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Young broker admires Wall Street wizard, Gordon Gekko and tries to become a part of his world.It all ends badly and certainly does no good to the image of Wall Street and its denizens.

This is an eye opening classic. Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen are excellent in this movie where life truly imitates art!

Terrible blu-ray transfer
Added 2/3/2010

I have to say that this is one of the absolute worst blu-ray transfers I have seen. I am not one of those that hop on the bandwagon of this transfer stinks and so does this one and so on... I usually am pretty forgiving when it comes to these types of things. I enjoy this movie, but the blu ray version is a major disappointment. I echo the chorus of those who have said to stick with the dvd version. I give it four stars for the movie and one for the blu-ray transfer. Buyer beware.

Wall Street (20th Anniversary Edition)
Added 1/21/2010

Bud Fox is an ambitious stock trader who will do just about anything to get into the big leagues. He has been actively courting Gordon Gekko, one of the biggest stock speculators on Wall Street. Gekko manipulates the market using inside information and his motto best describes his approach: greed is good. Nothing will stop him from pursuing a good deal and he takes advantage of Bud's burning to desire to succeed. Soon, Bud finds himself getting information from any source and using to gain an advantage. It all comes to a head however when Gekko targets Blue Star airlines, the company where Bud's father has worked for 24 years, secretly planning to break it up and plunder the employees' retirement fund. Super-slick, wickedly intelligent and definitely a very entertaining movie, "Wall Street" continues to strike a chord when looking back at a very unique time of American economic history.
