SYNOPSIS

Distinguished filmmaker, Martin Scorsese, directs the true story of New York stockbroker, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). Having started a morally conventional career in the late 80s, Belfort quickly rose from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties, as founder of the brokerage firm, Stratton Oakmont, warranted Belfort the title - The Wolf of Wall Street. Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was not to be taken into account. For Jordan and his aspiring staff of likeness, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.
