Summary

An ambitious young stockbroker, eager to break into the big leagues of 1980s Wall Street, falls under the spell of Gordon Gekko, a ruthless corporate raider who preaches that greed is good. As the protege adopts his mentor's tactics of insider trading and aggressive takeovers, he is forced to confront the moral cost of his choices when Gekko targets a company close to home.

Released in 1987, Wall Street is a crime and drama film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,479 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 220 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 222 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
