The story of the film takes place on Wall Street in New York, at the moment of the 2008 economic crisis. Rather, the story takes place inside an investment bank, 24 hours before they are due to declare bankruptcy. After reviewing all the information, young analyst Pete Sullivan suddenly realized that the company's property assessment had a huge hole. That is, a wrong or planned business decision made the company difficult, the investment bank bought a lot of securities, but now the issuance of these securities itself has become worthless, which will lead to the bankruptcy of the bank .
After discovering this, the company's top executives held overnight meetings, hoping to come up with a strategy to save the company. Experienced stockbroker Sam Rodgers, his boss Judd Cohen and financial crisis analyst Sarah Robertson were all at the meeting. Even the company's boss, John Tould, rushed back in a helicopter. The meeting decided that banks would sell these worthless securities at extremely low prices.
Company executives have neither fear nor shame about these impending dangers to the financial world. They dumped all the bad assets as soon as the market opened the next day. In this way, although investment banks can get temporary stability, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, and eventually bad luck will come to these investment banks.
Kevin Spacey was finally dissatisfied with Irons for selling off distressed assets and firing employees, but he was forced to stay because of a lack of money. Young analysts will also get promotions.

Margin Call quotes

  • John Tuld: So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.

  • Will Emerson: Jesus, Seth. Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life you have to believe you're necessary and you are. People wanna live like this in their cars and big fuckin' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really fuckin' fair really fuckin' quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people. You know, the funny thing is, tomorrow if all of this goes tits up they're gonna crucify us for being too reckless but if we're wrong, and everything gets back on track? Well then, the same people are gonna laugh till they piss their pants cause we're gonna all look like the biggest pussies God ever let through the door.

    Seth Bregman: Do you think we're gonna be wrong?

    Will Emerson: [long pause] No, they're all fucked.
