Yuppies is a 1986 Italian comedy film directed by Carlo Vanzina. The film revolves around four young and successful friends - Willy, Giacomo, Lorenzo, and Sandro, who are living the high life in Milan in the 1980s. They idolize men like Gianni Agnelli and Silvio Berlusconi and their only goal in life is to be seen as successful and wealthy, even if it means putting up a façade.
Giacomo is a talented ad executive who lives in a luxuriously furnished apartment. Lorenzo is a wealthy and successful notary who knows how to enjoy the finer things in life. Sandro is a young dentist who has just recently opened his own practice, and Willy is a charismatic and successful car salesman who loves to party.
As the film progresses, the yuppies indulge in wild parties, engage in extramarital affairs, and engage in various business deals to continue their ascent to the top. However, their superficiality and eagerness to impress others lead them down a destructive path, causing them to lose everything they have worked so hard for.
Yuppies is a satirical take on the materialistic and superficial mentality of the wealthy young professionals of the 1980s, as they chase money, fame, and success at all costs. The film features a star-studded cast, including Jerry Calà, Christian De Sica, Massimo Boldi, and Renato Pozzetto.
