A-list actors, headed by Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, and Steve Carell, join forces to expose the fraud and anomalies of American banking in the movie "The Big Short."
According to Comingsoon.net, the movie was based on Michael Lewis' book of the same title and based on true events. Lewis is also the author of "The Blind Side: The Evolution of a Game" and "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game."
