Which 2013 biographical film about stockbroker Jordan Belfort stars Leonardo DiCaprio?

The 2013 biographical film about stockbroker Jordan Belfort starring Leonardo DiCaprio is The Wolf of Wall Street. Directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Terence Winter, the film adapts Belfort’s 2007 memoir about his rise through the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont.

DiCaprio plays Belfort, whose aggressive sales operation becomes associated with penny-stock manipulation, fraud, and lavish excess. Jonah Hill plays his business associate Donnie Azoff, while Margot Robbie portrays his second wife, renamed Naomi Lapaglia for the film. Kyle Chandler’s FBI agent character is based on investigator Gregory Coleman but uses the fictional name Patrick Denham.

The film is often confused with Wall Street, Boiler Room, or The Big Short because all involve finance and market culture. Those films focus on different characters and stories. The Wolf of Wall Street is also deliberately extreme in its depiction of drugs, sex, and profanity, and its satirical intent has prompted debate over whether it condemns or glamorizes Belfort’s behavior.
