Margin Call (film)

Margin Call is a movie about a bunch of people who work in a fancy company that makes a lot of money by buying and selling things like stocks and bonds. But one day, they find out that the things they bought and sold were not worth as much as they thought they were.

This means that the company might not have enough money to pay back all the people who they borrowed money from. When you borrow money to buy things like stocks and bonds, you have to put some of your own money in too. This is called a margin.

A margin call is when the people who lent you money tell you that you have to put in more of your own money to cover any losses. In the movie, the company has to sell off a lot of their stuff really quickly to try to make enough money to pay back their loans.

This causes a lot of stress and drama because some people don't want to sell their stuff at such a low price, while others think it's the only way to save the company. And all of this happens because they took a risk and didn't realize how much it could cost them.
