PAUL GIAMATTI (Oscar® nominee, Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner) and DAMIAN LEWIS (Emmy and Golden Globe winner) star in the SHOWTIME® Original Series BILLIONS, a bold drama that examines the profits and perils of chasing the American dream.In the sexy, ego-driven world of high finance, two of New York's most powerful titans are locked in an epic battle. Tenacious U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) wields the power of the justice system with purposeful authority. Ruthlessly brilliant hedge fund king Bobby Axe' Axelrod (Lewis) rules an empire built on inside information and dirty backroom deals. Axe is driven to win at all costs but Chuck will do anything to make the self-made billionaire pay for his crimes. It's a high stakes war where each is forced to answer the question: What is power worth? BILLIONS weaves a complex, intricate narrative that moves seamlessly between the private and professional lives of Chuck and Axe. MAGGIE SIFF stars as Wendy Rhoades, Chuck's whip smart, ambitious wife who is caught between her husband's convictions and her professional role as an influential member of Axe's inner circle. MALIN AKERMAN stars as Lara Axelrod, Axe's fiercely loyal, street-smart wife. TOBY LEONARD MOORE (Daredevil), DAVID COSTABILE (Breaking Bad) and CONDOLA RASHAD (Money Monster) also star.
An all-star cast enlivens this mobster movie. Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, Battlefield Earth) plays the central role of Matty, the son of a mob boss (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet, Speed) who's reluctant to give his son a shot at crime. Alas, when Matty and his posse of friends--tough guy Vin Diesel (Boiler Room, XXX), lover boy Andrew Davoli (The Sopranos), and screw-up Seth Green (the Austin Powers movies)--finally get an opportunity, they fumble the job, and a very important satchel of money ends up in a Montana town where the wily sheriff (Tom Noonan, Manhunter) decides he deserves a bonus for his years of public service. The posse's problems get worse when Matty's ruthless uncle (John Malkovich) comes to town to clean up the mess. Mechanical and unimaginative, but the capable performances keep it moving.
