Anchorman director Adam McKay aims for his own Doctor Strangelove black comedy classic with the outraged and outrageous The Big Short. Based on Michael Lewis' book of the same name, The Big Short chronicles the true story of how four businessmen foresaw (and profited from) the late 2000s housing crisis and financial meltdown by essentially betting on America to fail.
Those four (mostly unconnected) observers include: Michael Burry (Christian Bale), a socially awkward, speed metal-loving speculator with a glass eye who nevertheless can see the looming housing bubble burst coming months ahead of time; slick cat banker Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling); money manager Mark Baum (Steve Carell), whose growing outrage over the corrupt system mirrors the audience's own anger; and newbies Charlie Geller and Jamie Shipley (John Magaro and Finn Wittrock) who get sage advice from a retired trader, Ben Rickert (Brad Pitt, who also produced), who has turned his back on the whole damn thing to lead a quiet life elsewhere.
