Synopsis:

A sleek Australian thriller that is well timed to tap the public's disgust with financial institutions and the number-crunchers who run them. Anthony LaPaglia portrays Simon O'Reilly, the gleefully arrogant chief executive of Centabank, a profit-hungry institution with assets exceeding $50 billion. When Jim Doyle (David Wenham), a hotshot young mathematician, approaches Simon with designs for a computer program based on chaos theory that Jim says can predict stock market crashes, Simon decides to invest in perfecting it. The whole idea of such a program is ridiculous, of course. But its very preposterousness doesn't make the movie any less entertaining. As far-fetched as the movie is, 'The Bank' conveys an engaging zest for upper-crust mischief.
