Chaos on Wall Street: GameStop company shares suddenly soar. The trigger is YouTuber Keith who, to save the ailing chain store, invests his entire savings in its stock and shares the fact on social media. His posts go viral and initiate a monumental movement of little people who also invest in GameStop, making Keith and countless other lay shareholders rich overnight, while hedge-fund billionaires lose everything. The book "The Antisocial Network" by Ben Mezrich serves as a template for director Craig Gillespie's hilarious comedy that shows how social media can influence the stock markets. Paul Dano and Seth Rogen deliver an unforgettable duel as the protagonists in this satirical David-versus-Goliath story.
