Synopsis: When the banks committed the greatest fraud in US history, four outsiders risked it all to take them down. Based on the unbelievable true story and best-selling book from the author of The Blind Side and Moneyball, critics are calling The Big Short "brilliant and explosive" (Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal). Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt turn in career-best performances in "one of the most absorbing and entertaining films of the year" (Mara Reinstein, Us Weekly).
