When Jane Fonda inherits her murdered husband's stock shares in his financial company, she gets entangled in a dangerous international scheme. She also falls for banker Kris Kristofferson, so that's a nice bonus.I'll be honest: I had no idea what was going on during most of this movie. It's very heavy on the financial talk, so if you don't speak Wall Street, you'll probably be just as lost as I was. Kris, Jane, Hume Cronyn, Josef Sommer, and Bob Gunton—in his first film—are all involved in this financial thriller, and for those of you who can follow the plot, it'll be a nail-biter until the very end. For me, it was a snooze-fest until the very end, at which time I was very grateful. The only parts of the movie that stood out to me were some pretty outfits Jane Fonda wore and Macon McCalman's very convincing acting in a scene where he expresses his fear for his life.

Why didn't they show this movie to us in school? Why didn't we learn about the Federal Reserve banking system in school? Because they don't want us to understand what money really is and the dangers of fractional reserve banking and fiat currencies. They want us to be mindless consumers paying no attention to those that pull the strings of government and media to manipulate the minds of sheeple. This way it's easy for them to capitalize when the system they created collapses leaving the useless eaters fighting to survive. Wake up people!Become your own central bank. Invest in things you can own. Stay away from paper currencies.

***SPOILERS*** Corporate crime and manipulation of stocks bonds and currencies is the shocking story of the movie "Rollover" that's much more like what's happening today in 2010 that back in 1981 when the film as released.In it we have a number of shadowy figures in the US and overseas who are trying to cover their behinds by siphoning off the cash accounts of the financially strapped Borough Savings Bank in order to convert their ill gotten gains into billions in gold bullion. It's when the banks CEO Charlie Winter, Garrison Lane, was found murdered in his office in the World Trade Center that it became very apparent that his murder had something to do with the banks cash flow troubles! That in the fact that Charlie uncovered in an account, #21214, that was secretly funneling millions of dollars out of it every month!With the late Charlie Winters' wife Lee, Jane Fonda, becoming the banks new president she tries to save it from going under by brokering a half billion deal a deal for a petrochemical plant in Spain with the bank getting a 1% finders fee on it. That's just enough to pay off its shareholders next dividend in order to keep it was going bankrupt. As all this is happening 1st New York Bank President Maxwell Emery, Hume Cronyn, who's a silent partner in the distressed Borough Savings Bank hires financial whiz kid Hub Smih, played by a super clean shaven Kris Kristofferson, to get to the bottom of the Borough Bank's problems. That's before the final bell, on Wall Street, rings and it collapses like a house of cards!***SPOILERS*** What Smith soon discovers is that it's non other then the man who hired him Maxwell Emery himself who's behind Borough Savings Bank's impending collapses. In Emery using account #21214 to secretly shift the banks money into it he's been bleeding the bank white and at the same timer waiting for the right moment for him as his Saudi Arabian banking partners to pull out all the money in that bank as well as some 1,200 to 1,500 other banks all across the US and Europe! That would end up making the dollar as well as any other national paper currency as worthless as the paper its printed on! As for Lee Winters, who had discovered the truth about her husbands murder, her trying to blackmail Emery and his Saudi partners in crime in having them agree on a sweetheart deal with her, to keep Lee and the Borough Bank from going bankrupt, has them put her on the hit list, like her late husband Charlie, for immediate termination!A bit over the top at the time of its release "Rollover" is in fact a forerunner to movies like "Wall Street" in how those who control power ruthlessly use it to keep them in control. Smith is soon confronted with the truth, a possible collapse of world currencies, and is together with Lee Winters totally helpless to do anything about it.***MORE SPOILERS*** As the Saudis go into panic mode in being caught with their pants down start to pull their money out of US and European banks the entire world economy goes straight to hell together with them and the person they put their trust in to keep their grandiose plan secret Maxwell Emery! As for Hub Smith and Lee Winters they like everyone else will have to start from ground zero in getting back on their feet financially after all the dust, in food monetary riots and runs on banks,clears!
