* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The movie implies that John Paul Getty Jr. was not involved in the hostage negotiations except to serve as a silent pawn in his father's attempt to gain the children's custody from Gail. In real life, he also tried to convince Getty, but he refused to talk to Getty directly because of an earlier falling out with him.

The movie gained a special notoriety when Creator/KevinSpacey, who had originally been cast to play the [[PlayingGertrude octogenarian]] Getty under a pile of makeup, was accused of sexual misconduct by several men including Creator/AnthonyRapp, after the movie was completed and only a few months before its release. With the looming threat of a boycott and a BoxOfficeBomb, the studio agreed to Scott's proposal to [[TheOtherMarty replace Spacey with Plummer]] and reshoot the 22 scenes he was in in a couple of weeks. This was accomplished one day before the deadline. As a result, the movie came out less than a week after its projected release. For his work, Plummer received a UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination for Supporting Actor, believed to be the shortest turnover between an actor filming a role and being nominated for it -- it would also be the actor's last nomination prior to his death in 2021.

* WhamShot: Only in the original trailer. After hearing about him but never getting a clear look we suddenly see [[AndStarring "With]] Creator/KevinSpacey [[AndStarring as J. Paul Getty"]] which then cuts to a clear shot of Getty approaching the camera, removing a pair of SinisterShades, and revealing [[PlayingGertrude Spacey under a lot of old man makeup]]. The trailer for the released version where Creator/ChristopherPlummer [[TheOtherMarty replaced a disgraced Spacey]] did not try to recreate this moment, showing Getty beforehand instead of a big reveal. This makes sense, as while plenty of audiences likely didn't hear about the movie until the initial trailer, and thus would be surprised by an elderly looking Spacey, by the time of the second trailer, due to previous publicity, Spacey having his career ruined by a accusations of molestation, and thus being removed in favor of Plummer, everybody knew about this film and how Plummer would be playing Getty, meaning nobody would be surprised. Not to mention, Plummer, actually being in his eighties, didn't need to wear the same prosthetics, meaning the trailer couldn't bank on emphasizing an actor transformation.

In 1973, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Creator/CharliePlummer) is kidnapped by Calabrian gangsters and held for ransom. His grandfather, J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer, no relation), is an oil tycoon, the richest man in the world…and an infamous miser. When Getty refuses to pay the ransom, his daughter-in-law, Gail (Williams), has to work with Getty’s head of security, Fletcher Chase (Wahlberg) to find some other way to free Paul.
