Synopsis:

Billionaire Boys Club is the two-part TV adaptation of a book by Sue Horton (unpublished at the time of the film's first telecast). In flashback form, the story recounts the murder of Beverly Hills con artist Ron Levin (Ron Silver). The culprit is yuppie Joe Hunt (Judd Nelson), a sharp young commodities trader who has organized an investment firm with several of his prep school buddies, known as the Billionaire Boys Club. Part one, originally telecast November 8, 1987, traces Hunt's meteoric rise to wealth and power, and the means by which Levin worms his way into Hunt's confidence. In part two, shown the next evening, Hunt has already murdered Levin and carefully disposed of the body. The next step of the scheme is take over where Levin left off by conning an Iranian millionaire out of a huge sum of money. Meanwhile, other members of the Club begin to have qualms over Hunt's finagling. Their whistle-blowing leads to Hunt's arrest and conviction for murder.

Depicts an authentic case: Ron Levin, a wealthy businessman has disappeared. No body is found, but there was a list with instructions in his house - a recipe for murder. It's author is the defendant. The successful young business man had formed a team of prestigious former fellow students for an risky project which should make them all rich. His partners claim they didn't know about the means.

Joe Hunt (Judd Nelson), a charismatic salesman, has an irresistible offer for his former prep-schoolmates - join the Billionaire Boys Club and cash-in when Hunt invests their money in commodities. Instead Hunt leads them into kidnapping and murder forcing each member to decide just how far he'll go to secure his success.
