Meltdown is a 2013 short movie-within-a-game in Grand Theft Auto V.

The film features Dylan (Played by Milton McIlroy), and Chip (Played by John Cohn), two businessmen looking to make it big in Liberty City's Stock Market. Dylan is chosen and taken under the wing of Abner Fitch (played by Theodore Bickford) to become a successful stock trader.


This film provides examples of:

  • Dance Party Ending: The film ends with all of the surviving characters (And the mayor of Liberty City) dancing to "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" by The Greg Kihn Band.
  • Dung Fu: Alluded to when the talking monkey appears:
    Abner Fitch: What are you gonna do, throw your shit at me?
  • Precision F-Strike: Parodied and lampshaded when Abner Fitch hacks the economy:
    Abner Fitch: Nobody can fucking stop me! I just said fuck, I'm an outlaw. That means we get an R Rating.
  • Title Drop: When Abner Fitch is about to hack the world economy, this is lampshaded:
    Abner Fitch: A complete Meltdown!
    Useless VO: Finally, he said the title! Good. We can use this scene in the trailer.
