Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

00:00 Kitty's a legend.
00:02 I am Paul Dano, and I play Roaring Kitty.
00:07 I don't think he was trying to start a movement.
00:09 I'm going to pick a stock and talk about why

00:12 And that stock is GameStop.
00:15 He's like, this is who I am.
00:16 I'm wearing a cat shirt and a bandana.
00:18 Who is this guy?
00:19 He's real.
00:20 And I think that's why people responded to him.
00:22 Yeah, I think everyone else is crazy, and I think I'm right.
00:25 I love this guy.
00:26 And it ended up spreading like wildfire.
00:28 If he's in, I'm in.
00:29 It was like an army of retail traders, millions of people.
00:33 Another record high.
00:34 Roaring Kitty, I love you!
00:36 How much higher is it going to go?
00:37 We control the price now, not Wall Street.
00:39 And I think everybody can get behind that underdog
00:42 coming up against the man.
00:44 I just like to stop.
