The Bank (2001)

Jim Doyle is a maths genius working in the far reaches of fractal theory, searching for a formula that can predict future stock market crashes. The potential in Jim’s software fires the imagination and greed of Simon O’Reilly, the CEO of Centabank. O’Reilly’s freewheeling management style and negative performance are under attack by the Board of Centabank. He’s looking for the magic bullet to save his skin. Offering Jim access to mainframe computers, O’Reilly lures Jim to work for Centabank.

With endless money and resources to play with, Jim perfects his theory. O’Reilly and the bank’s Board of Directors fall under the spell of his system and the wealth it could bring. In this slick corporate world, Jim is drawn to Michelle, a rising Centabank executive.

Of all the bank’s problems, none is greater than Centabank’s exposure to massive foreign currency loans. A couple of battlers, Wayne and Diane, have their houseboat operation, funded by an offshore loan, foreclosed by Centabank. With help from a young legal aid lawyer, they take action. Fearing victory will trigger a class action that could ruin Centabank, O’Reilly sanctions a dirty tricks

campaign.

In this reckless environment, O’Reilly throws all caution aside
