In 2001, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is released from prison after serving eight years for insider trading and securities fraud. Seven years later, Gekko is promoting his new book Is Greed Good? - warning about the coming economic downturn. His estranged daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), runs a small news website and is dating Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf), a top proprietary trader at Keller Zabel Investments (KZI). Jacob is a protégé of managing director Louis Zabel (Frank Langella), and is trying to raise money for a fusion research project which would create massive amounts of clean energy for the world.
After Keller Zabel's stock loses more than 30% of its value, Louis
Zabel tries to arrange a bailout for KZI from other Wall Street banks
but is blocked by Bretton James (Josh Brolin),
head of rival firm Churchill Schwartz, which Louis Zabel had refused to
bail out eight years earlier. The next morning Louis Zabel kills
himself by jumping in front of a subway train because he cannot handle
the stress and embarrassment of losing his company. Distraught, Jacob
proposes marriage to Winnie, who accepts. Later, he approaches Gordon
Gekko after a lecture. Gekko tells Jacob that Keller Zabel's collapse
started when rumors of the company having toxic debt
started to spread. Jacob and Gekko arrange a trade: Jacob will try to
reconcile Winnie and Gekko's relationship, and Gekko will gather
information to destroy Bretton's career to seek revenge for Louis
Zabel's suicide.
Aided by Gekko, Moore learns that Bretton James profited from the
Keller Zabel collapse. In revenge, he spreads rumors about the
nationalization of an African oil field
owned by Churchill Schwartz. The company loses $120 million, and
Bretton offers Moore a job, which he accepts determined to avenge Zabel.
At his new job, Moore convinces Chinese investors to fund the fusion
research he has been supporting. Bretton is impressed by Jacob's
initiative and is also glad for the new investment.
