    Margin Call
    takes place over a 36-hour period at a large Wall Street investment bank and highlights the initial stages of the financial crisis of 20072008… Although the film does not depict any real Wall Street firm or similar corporate action during the 2008 financial crisis Goldman Sachs similarly moved early to hedge and reduce its position in mortgage-backed securities at the urging of two employees. Other firms like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns found themselves similarly and catastrophically over-leveraged in mortgage-backed securities. They scrambled ultimately unsuccessfully to manage the financial and public panic that ensued when their problems became apparent and the global financial markets plunged as a result.
