August (2008)

implosion.com
Brothers Tom (Josh Hartnett) and Josh (Adam Scott) have taken their innovative dot.com public, and in four short days, the stock has risen 500%. Their plan is to wait the requisite 30 day lock out and then sell their own stock and become millionaires for real instead of on paper.

But it's less than a month before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Can Landshark.com sustain? Can they survive?

Also appearing are: Naomie Harris as Tom's former lover who has just returned to the city, Rip Torn as the Sterling boys' father David, Caroline Lagerfelt as their mother Nancy, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Josh's wife Morela, Robin Tunney and Andre Royo as company strategists Melanie Hanson and Dylan Gottschalk, David Bowie as Cyrus Ogilvie who is determined to take over the fledgling company.
