Business Ethics is a satirical comedy film that revolves around Zachery Cranston, a graduate from a prestigious business school who lands a job in a big financial firm. Zachery is ambitious and eager to climb the corporate ladder, but his values and morals are put to the test when he encounters a dramatic new idea for a fund that may not be entirely legal.
The idea comes from an unscrupulous colleague, Jimmy, who suggests investing in a pharmaceutical company that is about to release a new drug that has not been fully tested. The risks are high, but if the drug works, the profits could be enormous. Zachery initially refuses to participate, but the temptation of making big money and impressing his bosses becomes too great to resist.
As Zachery gets deeper into the scheme, he begins to realize that the fund is not only illegal but also highly unethical. He is torn between his desire for success and his conscience, as he sees how the fund could harm people's lives. Meanwhile, a ruthless SEC agent is hot on their trail, and Zachery must decide whether to come clean or risk everything to keep his dream job and his newfound wealth.
The film is a sharp critique of the financial industry and the moral compromises that businessmen are often willing to make in the pursuit of success. With its exaggerated characters, witty dialogue, and clever plot twists, Business Ethics is a hilarious and thought-provoking satire of corporate culture and the human condition.
