Paul Dano plays our hero here, Keith Gill , a new dad from the Boston suburbs who goes online to advise anyone listening about his stock picks wearing a red headband and colorful, cat-themed T-shirts.
Gill convinced a band of smaller-pocketed and novice investors to pile in and buy GameStop stock, pushing the stock higher and higher, causing billions of loses for hedge funds.
The movie is at its most compelling when GameStop 's stock soars 1,600% — making potential investors into paper millionaires.
