There are very few movies that deal with the intricacies of high finance, and even novels often don't deal with that. I did a quick perusal of what books dealt with drama in finance, and many of them involved murder on Wall Street. By contrast, the books by the late Paul Erdman dealt with the nature of trading and banking, which is where the suspense is - he called the genre, "fi-fi" or "finance fiction".
I can think of only three movies that do the same - Trading Places, Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy, and Wall Street 1 and 2, with Michael Douglas.
Any thoughts?
