An elite group of young men is manipulated to murder in this tale of life and death in America’s fast lane, based on a true story of the Yuppie dream gone awry and set against a backdrop of Los Angeles glamour spots.

Charismatic Joe Hunt (Judd Nelson) convinces a number of his wealthy young friends to contribute their inheritances into an investment and social club with the promise of easy money and instant success. Little do these privileged sons of the Los Angeles elite know that the exclusive Billionaire Boys Club will pull them into a world of deceit, kidnapping and murder – and a nightmare from which they cannot escape.

The accolades were numerous and justified for this brilliant 1987 miniseries that chillingly laid bare the darkest excesses of a culture of greed; Judd Nelson won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance, with Brian Macnamara nominated for Best Supporting Role as Dean Karny, Hunt’s former best friend who also acts as narrator throughout. There were also Emmy nominations for Ron Silver – as the flamboyant Beverly Hills con artist, Ron Levin, whom Hunt courts with disastrous consequences – along with director Marvin J. Chomsky and writer Gy Waldron.
