Member Rating:  
Ryan Hurst, Jeremy London, and William Devane star in director Russ Emanuel's docudrama detailing the Federal Trade Commission's case against an independent sales organization seeking to redefine the way Americans use credit cards. Adam (London) and Ross Franklin (Hurst) were still in their twenties when they became millionaires by marketing electronic terminals for credit card transactions. It was the early '90s, and Americans were spending more money than ever before. But while Adam and Ross had ambition to spare, their refusal to acknowledge the demands of others more powerful revealed a certain lack of business savvy. Ignoring government warnings to "respond" to various complaints regarding their practices, the brothers built their modest startup company into a multi-million-dollar empire. But that empire would crumble when the FTC set out to destroy their company at the behest of powerful industry competitors. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    See it. Great to see a wry conservative values/hard work/capitalism fable for our time. A couple of all-American boys smack up against William Devane (always a treat) as a bureaucrat from hell. Only in America could a story this fascinating and galling also be true. I missed the case in the papers at the time, but this indie feature got me into the story to the point I read the book of the same title. Liked the movie better.
