Billionaire Boys Club
Young, rich, and out of control.
Based on the case that captivated the country in the early '80s, the Billionaire Boys Club tells the shocking true story of Joe Hunt, a charismatic financial whiz kid who refused to let anything or anyone stand in the way of his pursuit of immense wealth.
Armed with the promise of doubling or even tripling their money, Joe convinces rich young men from prominent families to join his investment group (the BBC). But, as their wealth grows, so does their greed. In danger of losing everything, and determined to maintain their extravagant lifestyles, Joe and the Billionaire Boys grow desperate enough to kill. Ultimately, they turn upon one another in one of the most shocking examples of corrupt ambition from the decade that defined it.
Starring Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire) in one of the most compelling performances of his career as the brazen and ambitious Joe Hunt, and Ron Silver (Ali, The West Wing) as the con man who ultimately becomes his victim, the Billionaire Boys Club is a thrilling exposé of an era of excess and what happens when the desire for cold, hard cash trumps all.

I remember seeing this on tv way back. It was interesting to see how a group of intelligent young people get swept along in the quest for money and power. The fact that it is based on a true series of events made it all the more intriguing . The greed that takes over their lives and the fact that they are willing to resort to anything in order to gain more and more wealth makes this worth watching . Could this happen in the year 2011 ? Probably yes.I love the 80's! - Cricri7
Billionaire boys club is a miniseries that aired in the 80's and it shows! The big hair, the cheap feel of the series and Judd Nelson make up this series. It tells the story of a young and brillant man that murders a man. He was very ambitious, guru-like and had taken under his wing many ambitious and naive young men.
It may look a bit amateur but it was fun to revisit just for the sake of seeing a miniseries filmed in the 80's.
