"The Wolf of Wall Street" is actually based on the real-life memoirs of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who engaged in fraudulent activities during the 1990s. Here are some more plot details:

The film follows Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who starts his career as a young and ambitious stockbroker on Wall Street in the late 1980s. Under the guidance of a seasoned broker, Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey), Belfort quickly learns the ropes of the industry. However, his career takes an unexpected turn when Black Monday, a significant stock market crash, occurs, leaving him out of a job.

Undeterred, Belfort eventually finds a job at a small firm that deals in penny stocks. He discovers that the commission on these stocks can be lucrative, especially when selling them to wealthy and naive investors. With his natural charm and persuasive skills, Belfort establishes his own brokerage firm, Stratton Oakmont, along with his loyal partner, Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill).

As Stratton Oakmont grows, Belfort and his team engage in various illegal activities to amass massive wealth. They manipulate stock prices, use high-pressure sales tactics, and defraud their clients in a scheme known as "pump and dump." Belfort becomes infamous for his extravagant lifestyle, which includes drugs, alcohol, parties, and extravagant possessions.

While living this excess-driven life, Belfort's actions attract the attention of FBI agent Patrick Denham (Kyle Chandler). Denham starts an investigation into Stratton Oakmont's illegal activities, leading to a cat-and-mouse game between Belfort and the authorities.

As the pressure mounts, Belfort's personal life starts to unravel. His marriage to his wife, Naomi (Margot Robbie), begins to crumble due to his infidelity and drug abuse. Additionally, his reckless behavior catches the attention of the media, making him a target for both the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Throughout the movie, Belfort struggles with addiction, resulting in increasingly erratic behavior. As the government's investigation intensifies, Belfort must decide whether to cooperate by providing information about his associates and corrupt practices or try to protect himself and his empire.

Ultimately, the movie showcases the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort, highlighting the excesses and corruption that plagued Wall Street during this era and the devastating consequences of his actions.
