The Last Days of Lehman Brothers (2009)

In the heart of Wall Street, the titans of investment banking are called to an urgent dusk meeting by US Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson. The agenda: the grim fate of Lehman Brothers. Amid six months of whirlwind chaos in global financial markets, Lehman Brothers finds itself on a precarious precipice, its lifeline dwindling as the government readies to let go. At the eye of this financial storm is Lehman CEO, Dick Fuld, recently dethroned in a brutal boardroom power struggle. Over a nerve-wracking weekend, Fuld wages a desperate battle against time and odds to breathe life back into his cherished empire, seeking salvation in a potential merger with Bank of America or Barclays across the pond. But without the monetary lifeline from Paulson and the reluctant support from Lehman's fiercest rivals, Fuld's kingdom - and in consequence, the world's economic equilibrium - lingers on the brink of oblivion. The Last Days of Lehman Brothers is a high-stakes tale of financial brinksmanship, where the future of global economy hangs in the balance.
