Synopsis
The trouble with chasing your losses is that the hole only gets deeper the harder you dig. James Dearden's "Rogue Trader" tells the true story of how greed, excess and reckless gambling brought down Barings, one of Britain's oldest and most respected banks. Ewan McGregor brings real energy to the role of Nick Leeson, an ambitious young futures trader sent to Singapore by the 200-year-old firm, where he dreams of making a fortune. His bosses think he's the most successful trader they've ever had, but Nick is actually hiding enormous losses in a secret account. As his debts mount and his desperation grows, he makes bigger and riskier bets, including a massive wager on the Japanese market that collapses after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Anna Friel co-stars as his wife, Lisa.
