Plot – Betting against the system and making money. That is what a small group of visionary speculators did, guessing what was happening on the market before the outbreak of the global crisis in 2008 and taking advantage of it, sometimes making events precipitate and emerging winners. “The Big Short” is the story of the crisis from their point of view, that of unconventional characters, "heroes" with difficult personalities, unknown to most but fundamental to understand what really happened. Two young men who start off with $ 100,000 from a garage; a doctor who in his (very little) spare time plays the market to invest and who gives free financial advice on a forum; the arrogant financier who thinks he knows more than others, and then discovers he is right. What they have in common is a certain "eccentricity" which led them not to listen to common sense, which instead pushed the rest of the market to believe that the yields on loans and their derivatives would never run out.
