WALL STREET (1987) [Re-UP]

An ambitious stockbroker, Bud Fox (played by Charlie Sheen), is desperate to get to the top. He schemes to become involved with his hero, the extremely successful but unscrupulous corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). Gekko is a ruthless and legendary Wall Street player whose values couldn't conflict more with those of Bud's father Carl (Martin Sheen). In an effort to win Gekko as a client, Bud visits with Gekko on Gekko's birthday and pitches him a series of stocks which Bud had been analyzing for some time. When Gekko turns down all of these ideas, Bud gets desperate, and provides him with some inside information which Bud had learned in a casual conversation the day before from his father, Carl. Carl is a maintenance chief and union representative at a small airline, Bluestar, and tells Bud it will soon be cleared of a safety violation after a previous crash. The ruling will bring the airline out from under government suspension, allowing it to expand its business.
