Die Glücksritter ist ein US-amerikanischer Spielfilm aus dem Jahr 1983 mit Dan Aykroyd und Eddie Murphy in den Hauptrollen. Der Original-Filmtitel Trading Places ist ein Wortspiel: Er bedeutet einerseits „Handelsplätze“ – die Warenterminbörse spielt eine wichtige Rolle –, andererseits „die Plätze tauschen“, was mit den beiden Helden des Films geschieht. Der Film basiert lose auf Motiven des Romans Der Prinz und der Bettelknabe sowie auf der Kurzgeschichte The Million Pound Bank Note des US-amerikanischen Schriftstellers Mark Twain, welche bereits 1954 unter dem Titel Sein größter Bluff verfilmt wurde. Die Synchronisation wurde von der Synchronfirma Cine Adaption GmbH, München erstellt, während Jürgen Clause für das Dialogbuch und die Dialogregie verantwortlich war. Die Glücksritter spielte bei einem Budget von 15 Millionen US-Dollar 90 Millionen US-Dollar ein und war damit einer der erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Filme des Jahres (Rang 4).
