Wealth, power and prestige are
desired by many. Few are able to obtain them. Even fewer are able to accomplish this
overnight. So be prepared for a firm of aggressive young stockbrokers who enable this to
happen. On April 24 2001, Roadshow Home Entertainment brings BOILER ROOM to DVD
– and if the heat doesn’t get you, the pressure will!

Original Widescreen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, and Subtitles for the
Hearing-Impaired.
Packed with additional extras only
available on DVD, BOILER ROOM offers a detailed audio commentary with the cast and
crew, deleted scenes (including the original ending) and cast biographies. The commentary
provides an insight into the making of the film and outlines how director, Ben Younger,
brought the story to life on the big screen. Additional features include a theatrical
trailer and scene selection.
Ben Younger writes and directs this
new spellbinding thriller about the cost of wealth and the price that must be paid for all
its pleasures.
Welcome to the infamous boiler room
of J.T. Marlin, where twenty-something millionaires are made overnight. Here, in the inner
sanctum of this renegade brokerage firm, aggressive young stockbrokers are rewarded with
more wealth than they ever imagined. The latest recruit to this hot-shot company, is Seth
Davis (Giovanni Ribisi), a street-smart college drop-out with big money on his mind –
and he’s about to see it. Trained by the company’s top young turks, Seth soon
enjoys instant riches and all the privileges that accompany them.
He’s on top and living the life
he always dreamed of. But Seth is about to learn the devastating secret behind all his
intoxicating success…and just as he was seduced into the firm, Seth finds himself
caught in a trap that could destroy his future, his family and bring his entire world
crashing down.
With an outstanding young cast
including Giovanni Ribisi (Gone In 60 Seconds), Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan) and
Academy Award winner, Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting), this is the 21st
Century’s answer to "Wall Street".
GREED IS GOOD. GREED IS BACK.
