Too Big to Fail (2011)

Immerse yourself in the high-stakes world of Wall Street from late March to mid-October 2008 in "Too Big to Fail." The film provides an intimate look at Richard Fuld's desperate and ultimately doomed efforts to rescue Lehman Brothers. Follow the tense exchanges between economic titans Hank Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury; Ben Bernanke, chair of the Federal Reserve; and Tim Geithner, president of the New York Fed, as they grapple with finding a private lifeline for Lehman's looming crisis. Simultaneously, navigate the labyrinth of covert negotiations as Paulson joins forces with the legendary Warren Buffet, influential investment bankers, a British regulator, and congressional members. Their joint mission? To prevent the collapse of the U.S. economy. The film culminates with the controversial no-strings-attached bailout, the faint glimmers of restored confidence on Wall Street, and the narrowly dodged financial meltdown. As the dust settles, Paulson is left to ponder one critical question: Will banks lend again? "Too Big to Fail" is a gripping exploration of the tumultuous events that nearly plunged the world into an unprecedented financial crisis.
