FORT MASON FLIX: Trading Places
Event Information
About this Event
Trading Places
Dir: John Landis, 1983
R
118 min.
With Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche, Denholm Elliott, and Jamie Lee Curtis
“You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.”
Founders Mortimer (Ameche) and Randolph (Bellamy) of Duke & Duke Commodity Brokers debate nature vs. nurture with a real life experiment: frame their executive Louis Winthorpe III (Aykroyd) for various crimes and rescue the panhandling Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) from both jail and poverty. With nurture winning the day, the Dukes hope to dump Valentine and forget about Winthorpe, but the displaced duo have other plans. Future trades look to be made!
