Magnolia Pictures is proud to announce an exclusive engagement of the riveting new documentary ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM at Landmark’s Century Centre Cinema (2828 N. Clark, Chicago) & Renaissance Place Cinema (1850 Second Street, Highland Park) opening Friday, April 29th.
Based on the book by Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, director Alex Gibney (writer and co-producer of The Trials of Henry Kissinger) presents the inside story of one of the greatest business scandals in history, when top executives of Enron, America's seventh largest company, walked away with over one billion dollars while investors and employees lost everything. Inside accounts and controversial tapes show the unimaginable personal excesses of the Enron hierarchy and the moral vacuum that posed as corporate philosophy—and how their actions may shape our economy for years to come.
Read an exclusive first-person essay by writer/director Alex Gibney.
