Get ready for the wildest Wall Street tale of the century. Based on the bestselling book by Ben Mezrich, ‘Dumb Money’ brings to life the outrageous story of Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty – a financial analyst turned internet sensation who unwittingly sparked the GameStop stock market chaos of 2021.

After a clever tweet, Keith inadvertently becomes the face of a David vs. Goliath rebellion when ordinary investors on Reddit band together to take down powerful hedge fund giants. As the stakes rise and the stock market teeters on the brink of meltdown, Keith must navigate his newfound fame while keeping his day job and juggling his personal life.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, ‘Dumb Money’ boasts an all-star ensemble cast that delivers laugh-out-loud humor and poignant social commentary. From Paul Dano’s wicked turn as hedge fund bad boy Mitchell, to Pete Davidson’s endearing portrayal of Keith’s quirky fellow activist, this wickedly entertaining film has something for everyone.
