A mediocre "bottom" who lays in a small mess every day and can't write anything and his girlfriend also wants to break up. He met his ex-brother-in-law on the street and took a NZT to enter the "upper class".
Eddie completed a new book in a few days, then met all kinds of successful people, made millions in the stock market with a few hundred dollars from his brother-in-law, took his ex-girlfriend back, and then naturally saw Wall Street bigwigs enter the financial field...
When everything is going so smoothly, the side effects come to the fore. Eddie killed the other party in a one-night stand without knowing it, and then vomited, dizzy, and felt sick... At this time, his ex-wife approached him, saying that she had also taken her brother's medicine before, and that she also had problems after enjoying a successful career. , Fortunately, the slow withdrawal is not life-threatening. And he called one by one through his brother-in-law's former clients, knowing that three were dead and the others were sick... The horrific side effects made him decide to slowly get rid of NZT's control, but also quickly found that he couldn't live without it, too. just give up.
At this time, one of my brother-in-law's previous clients, an entrepreneur named Wood, came to the door because he ran out of medicines. The brother-in-law was killed because he couldn't find NZT. Eddie had to give, and after realizing it was a bottomless pit of big trouble, Eddie killed him in a fight.
It's all over. Unlike other films, the ending of the film is that Eddie developed a new drug and cut off the sequelae. It's a big comedy ending that satisfies the greedy heart and satisfies the desire for success. It seems that there really is such a thing. Medicine rewrites destiny at the peak of life.
Life is already so hard it might really need a little sweetness.
In addition, there is a scene in the film where Eddie found out that Wood made his fortune from NZT, and then thought about how many successful people were like Wood. This also more or less expresses the psychology that people are always unwilling to believe in the excellent doubts of others for various reasons.
