According to Latino Review , the film is set nearly two decades after the first film, with Gekko, having spent 14-years in prison for insider trading and security fraud, now making the lecture circuit as a published financial author. He mentors a young trader named Jacob (likely the character LaBeouf is playing) in hopes to reconnect with his daughter Winnie, Jacob’s wife.
Of course, it’s a lot more complicated than that, a revenge story set in the topical world of hedge fund managers, and global locals like London and Dubai. The financial word is a much different place than it was 20 years ago, and it looks like the current climate will make for an interesting setting for a sequel.
