The lure of making a bundle on Wall Street by the young broker (Charlie Sheen) totally seduced by the power and financial stature of such a megalomaniacal arbitrageur as Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is as good a contemporary story as there is in the real world of takeovers and mergers.
Douglas is a nasty enough manipulator barking orders to buy, sell and run his competitors into the ground or delivering declamatory speeches on how greed is what makes America great.
Trouble is, Sheen comes off as a pawn in Douglas' corporate raider game and as the easily duped sort doesn't elicit much sympathy. Martin Sheen as his father, the airplane mechanic, is the only person worth caring about.
