Money Monster follows Lee Gates (George Clooney), a TV personality whose insider tips made him the money guru of Wall Street. When Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell) loses all of his family’s money on a bad tip, he holds Lee and his entire show hostage on air threatening to kill Lee if he does not get the stock up.
