New York cousins, Vincent (Jesse Eisenberg) and Anton (Alexander Skarsgard), are players in the high-stakes game of high-frequency trading, where winning is measured in milliseconds. Vincent is the hustler and Anton is the brains; together they push each other—and everyone around them—in their quixotic quest to attain the ultimate American Dream. Embarking on a Herculean task, the cousins clash with their rapacious former boss, Eva Torres (Salma Hayek), a hedge-fund manager who tries to beat them at their own game. Racing against time, the cousins move mountains to cut through America and get rich faster, only to find redemption and renewal at the end of the line. Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgard, Michael Mando and Salma Hayek; Directed by Kim Nguyen; Produced by Pierre Even; Co-produced by Alain-Gilles Viellevoye; Executive produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Marie-Gabrielle Stewart and Heidi LevittDirected by Kim Nguyen
