Margin Call is een Amerikaanse dramafilm uit 2011 die geschreven en geregisseerd werd door J. C. Chandor. De film volgt het personeel van een fictieve investeringsbank in de aanloop naar de kredietcrisis. De hoofdrollen worden vertolkt door Kevin Spacey, Zachary Quinto, Paul Bettany en Jeremy Irons. In 2011 waren er wereldwijd Occupy Wall Street-betogingen als protest tegen de hebzucht van Wall Street en andere grote financiële instellingen. Filmcriticus Roger Ebert: "Ik denk dat de film toont hoe de personages enkel bezorgd zijn om de welvaart van hun ondernemingen. Er is geen voeling met het algemeen belang. Ondernemingen zijn amoreel en willen enkel overleven en succesvol zijn en liggen niet wakker van wat de menselijke kosten zijn. Dit is waarom Occupy Wall Street-betogers zo boos zijn: Ze zijn niet tegen kapitalisme, maar ze zijn woedend door de oneerlijkheid en hebzucht." In Margin Call legt CEO John Tuld uit wat zijn motto is: "Wees de eerste, wees slimmer, of speel vals." Op aanraden van twee jonge werknemers besluit de CEO om als eerste onderneming zoveel mogelijk mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (i.e. verhandelbare effecten met hypotheken als onderpand) van de hand te doen. De investeringsbank Goldman Sachs paste in 2007 een gelijkaardige strategie toe op aanraden van twee werknemers.
