Rollover (1981)

A must see to understand a phase of our economic vulnerabilities.

Explains the control of the Federal Reserve. We are about to see our reality follow this artistic model.

Movie was made well about the collapse of wallstreet and the world's market. This was a perceptive look at what could happen. Ahead of its time . . .as many years later, many parts of it came true. Kris & Jane really acted out the plot really well. I adore Kris Kristofferson!

While I can certainly argue about the cast, the plotline (given its Hollywood source) is plausible and frightening. It isn't about the Saudi's out to destroy the world or greedy bankers. It is a story about what might happen if the U.S. owed a large part of their debt to overseas investors and those investors panicked.Swap Asians for Arabs and cheap goods for oil and you are all set. Almost half of all U.S. debt is owned by foreign investors now, including many that are not friendly to us. It is in their interest not to dump this debt on the market at the moment but what if bonds or the dollar (or both) started to seriously slide? What if they decided it was "them or us" and weren't going to see their investments implode. Watch the movie and see how an innocent action might trigger such a response.It is true that only folks with a good understanding of international economics will "get it" and I am surprised such a movie was even released. If you have the background and can put up with the actors, this is quite a fascinating tale.

I remembered this movie from the 80's. It's a great and still timely story but it appealed to me because of the love scenes. Kris Kristofferson is incredibly sexy. I wish I could find it on dvd or blue ray but it's only available used and is way overpriced.

The movie simply is unconvincing, which has more to do with the plot than the cast. Assuming that Saudi Arabia controls the economics of the world is a stretch to put it gently. To be fair the movie was made many years ago where the control of oil pricing and production appeared to be a serious threat to the world's economy.

a movie so prophetic it is playing out in the world today, and the film is 30 years old! if you are a black helicopter person at heart, you'll love the movie. You don't see the ending coming!

The Past tells the future over 30 years ago!If only those who have been stealing from us the bankers and the Transnational Corporations had been fully regulated!We would not be in this dire situation now!

Bien reçu votre article, merci

excellent story foreshadowing what happened in the actual banking sector some years later. Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda are a good combinationwith Hume Cronyn a very convincing manipulator.

They should re-release this movie now! It concerns all the financial skullduggery that's been going on in the past 18mths and it was made 29 years ago! History repeats itself, but we all forget or weren't old enough to be aware at the time.Great performances by Kristofferson & Fonda. Pakula is a genius director, also see 'The Parallax View'.

Would not watch it again. Very cliched.
