Lee Gates is a self-proclaimed Wall Street guru whose television programme, Money Monster, is watched by millions of ordinary people who hope to profit from his investment tips.  It is whilst presenting one of his live shows that Lee is confronted by Kyle Budwell, a young man who claims he lost everything by following the supposed guru's advice.  Naturally, Patty, the show's producer, does her best to defuse the situation, but with her star's life at stake there's not much that can be done other than to let the pathologically disgruntled Kyle have his five minutes of fame.  What ensues is a nerve-wracking hostage situation which will expose a spectacular fraud, to the amusement of a gripped nationwide television audience...
