In 2013, Leonardo DiCaprio starred in the biographical crime-comedy film "The Wolf of Wall Street," directed by renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The film was based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a wealthy stockbroker who experienced a dramatic rise and fall involving crime, corruption, and federal government intervention.
DiCaprio's performance was met with acclaim, with many critics considering it one of the best of his career. The film's story unfolded in 1987 when Belfort landed a job as a Wall Street stockbroker at L.F. Rothschild, working under Mark Hanna. He quickly became immersed in the drug-fueled stockbroker culture and Hanna's belief that a broker's only goal was to make money for themselves.
Throughout the 2 hour and 59-minute runtime, "The Wolf of Wall Street" showcased Belfort's life of non-stop thrills and the corrupt side of the finance world.
