El lobo de Wall Street 2013
Película
Película basada en hechos reales del corredor de bolsa neoyorquino Jordan Belfort. A mediados de los años 80, Belfort era un joven honrado que perseguía el sueño americano, pero pronto en la agencia de valores aprendió que lo más importante no era hacer ganar a sus clientes, sino ser ambicioso y ganar una buena comisión. Su enorme éxito y fortuna le valió el mote de "El lobo de Wall Street". Dinero. Poder. Mujeres. Drogas. Las tentaciones abundaban y el temor a la ley era irrelevante.
