Trading Places 4K 1983

"Trading Places" (1983) is a comedic masterpiece that exposes the rampant world of role-swapping and chance in a financial jungle. Two completely different worlds collide when careless bum Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) and successful broker Louis Winthorton III (Dan Aykroyd) become the subjects of a social experiment.

Thanks to the scheming Duke brothers determined to change their circumstances, Billy and Louis find their lives intertwined in expectedly mixed and confusing circumstances. Their personal and professional adventures become a spectacle of mixed feelings, hilarious situations and unexpected twists and turns.

Director John Landis creates a hilarious and socially mocking comedy that, while lighthearted, touches on themes of racism, class inequality and greed. The mixed sarcasm and great acting by Murphy and Aykroyd make "Trading Places" unique, leaving the viewer enthralled with its laugh-out-loud and clever satire.
