Carl Fox is a blue-collar maintenance foreman for a small and struggling airline company called Bluestar Airlines. After work, Fox's meets with his father Carl (Martin Sheen), at a bar in nearby Queens for drinks. At one point one of his clients cancels a deal he'd made with Bud and Bud is responsible for the $7000 loss. During the day, Bud spends a large portion of his time making cold calls to investors who mostly turn him down. He wants to become involved with his hero, the corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a ruthless and legendary Wall Street player. a local Wall Street stock and trading firm, desperate to get to the top. Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is an ambitious, young junior stockbroker at Jackson Steinem & Co. The synopsis below may give away important plot points. But he soon discovers the pursuit of overnight riches comes at a price that's too high to pay.
In the 1980s, an ambitious young broker is lured into the illegal, lucrative world of corporate espionage when he is seduced by the power, status, and financial wizardry of Gordon Gekko. Director Stone, who co-wrote Wall Street with Stanley Weiser, has claimed that the film was prompted by the callous treatment afforded his stockbroker father after 50 years in the business this may be why the film's most compelling scenes are those between Bud Fox and his airline mechanic father (played by Charlie Sheen's real-life dad Martin). Only when Gekko's wheeling and dealing causes a near-tragedy on a personal level does Fox "reform"-though his means of destroying Gekko are every bit as underhanded as his previous activities on the trading floor. Inveigling himself into Gekko's inner circle, Fox quickly learns to rape, murder and bury his sense of ethics. Gekko, a high-rolling corporate raider, is idolized by young-and-hungry broker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen). "Greed is Good." This is the credo of the aptly named Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), the antihero of Oliver Stone's Wall Street.
