The film tells the story of the global financial crisis that broke out in 2008. With U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson (played by William Hurt) as the main clue, it records the decisions and actions of powerful figures who determined the fate of the world's largest economy within a few weeks. In order to save the global economy and get out of financial difficulties, not only Paulson did his best, but also Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (Paul Giamatti), New York Federal Reserve President Tim Geithner and others also used their personal relationships and channels. In addition, Warren Buffett (Edward Asner), investment bankers, British regulators and almost all members of Congress are involved in this smokeless financial war. The film is adapted from the best-selling book "Too Big to Fail" by Andrew Ross Sorkin, chief reporter and columnist of The New York Times. The film won many awards including Best Miniseries, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the 69th Golden Globe Awards in 2012.
