ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM

In less than a year, America's seventh-largest company collapsed from $65 billion in assets to bankruptcy. Twenty thousand employees lost everything while executives walked away with over $1 billion.

This Oscar-nominated film reveals how Enron's leaders built massive fraud through mark-to-market accounting booking future profits as current revenue. The toxic culture annually fired the bottom 15% while traders manipulated California's grid—taped conversations catch them mocking blackout victims. Arthur Andersen, the auditor meant to catch fraud, destroyed a ton of documents instead. Built from insider accounts and damning corporate recordings.

A portrait of unchecked greed and regulatory failure that remains the standard every corporate scandal is measured against.
