Synopsis

      Nick Carraway (Toby Maguire) is an aspiring stock broker in 1920's New York. Living on the outskirts of town, he reestablishes a friendship with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), and her husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Nick also befriends golfer Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki), who is pressured by Daisy to begin a romance with Nick. Jordan informs Nick of his neighbor, the rich and enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is famed for staging large, flamboyant parties for the region's elite. Attaching himself to Gatsby, Nick learns of a love that was broken between Gatsby and Daisy by the First World War. Now, Nick is caught in the crossroads of a staged game aimed at recreating the past. Soon it begins to show that greatness can sometimes be superficial to a person's real identity, and can be lead to a total demise.
