The Wolf of Wall Street
The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 American biographical black comedy crime film. It is based on the 2007 memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Belfort, with Jonah Hill as his business partner and friend, Donnie Azoff, Margot Robbie as his wife, Naomi Lapaglia, and Kyle Chandler as FBI agent Patrick Denham. The film premiered in New York City on December 17, 2013, and was released in the United States on December 25, 2013. In 1987, Jordan Belfort lands a job as a Wall Street stockbroker for L.F. Rothschild.
His tactics and salesmanship largely contribute to the success of his pump and dump scheme. In 1993, Jordan illegally makes $22 million in three hours after securing the IPO of Steve Madden. To hide his money, Jordan opens a Swiss bank account with corrupt banker Jean-Jacques Saurel. In 1996, Jordan, Donnie, and their wives are on a yacht trip to Italy when they learn that Aunt Emma has died.
Jordan decides to travel to Switzerland immediately to settle the bank account. To bypass border controls, he orders his yacht captain to sail to Monaco, but the ship capsizes in a storm. After their rescue, the plane sent to take them to Geneva is destroyed by a seagull. Jordan takes this as a sign from God and attempts to become sober from drugs.
