'''''Money Monster''''' is a 2016 thriller film directed by Creator/JodieFoster. The film's story involves Lee Gates (Creator/GeorgeClooney), a TV personality for a financial cable show called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Money Monster"]] that investigates the various financial positions of public companies. His show mostly consists of bombastic sketches and wild exaggerations of various financial situations, instead of actual journalism. It's earned Gates a steady paycheck though, and everything seems well.

However, the large corporation [[MegaCorp IBIS Global Capital]] undergoes a massive loss in its stock earnings, losing around $800 million dollars due to a computer glitch. Not long after, a deliveryman bursts into the studio during one of Gates's shows and holds everyone inside hostage. Armed with a gun and fitting Gates with an explosive vest triggered by a DeadManSwitch, the man demands that the broadcast continue and that the real reason behind IBIS loss be made public. With his own personality and the help of his director Patty (Creator/JuliaRoberts), Gates must not only find out the truth behind the monetary loss, but also find out how to escape the situation alive.
