Movies about business and money
Trading floors, start-ups and ambition that always comes with a bill.
Films about how big money gets made — and what it does to the people making it. Brokers and market crashes, company founders, corporate wars and financial schemes, many of them true. Some play like thrillers, others like cautionary tales.

Frequently asked
- What are the best movies about business?
- Start with founder stories and films about the 2008 financial crisis: they explain how money works better than most textbooks. Then move on to the Wall Street dramas, where one deal separates the rise from the fall.
- Are these films motivational?
- Some are, but most are about the price of success rather than a recipe for it. For pure inspiration, see Motivational movies.
