Stone’s iconic drama Wall Street premiered in theaters. Starring Michael Douglas as the ruthless corporate raider Gordon Gekko and Charlie Sheen as young stockbroker Bud Fox, the film delved into the high-stakes world of Wall Street in the 1980s.

Michael Douglas’s performance as Gekko earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor, with his famous mantra, “Greed is good,” becoming a defining line of 80s cinema. Wall Street not only entertained audiences but also offered a sharp critique of corporate greed and the moral dilemmas of ambition.
