The movie Glengarry Glen Ross, based on David Mamet's play of the same name, portrays the cutthroat world of real estate sales in Chicago. The story revolves around four salesmen in a small real estate office who are struggling to make their quotas and keep their jobs.
The office manager, John Williamson, informs the salesmen that the company has implemented a new sales contest where the top two performers will be rewarded with luxurious prizes, while the two lowest performers will be fired. This news sets off a fierce competition among the salesmen, each desperate to secure their positions and win the coveted prizes.
Shelley "The Machine" Levene, a desperate and aging salesman, desperately tries to secure good leads for potential buyers. He pleads with Williamson for better leads and even resorts to offering him a percentage of his commission. However, Williamson refuses to help him, causing Levene to become increasingly frustrated and desperate.
Meanwhile, Dave Moss and George Aaronow, two other salesmen, discuss the office situation and contemplate stealing the valuable leads from the office safe. Moss convinces Aaronow that the robbery will not only benefit them financially but also expose the unethical practices of the company.
Ricky Roma, the smoothest and most successful salesman in the group, forms a bond with a seemingly naive potential buyer named James Lingk. Roma lures Lingk into making a costly real estate investment, using lies, manipulation, and even impersonating an attorney to close the deal. Lingk eventually realizes he has made a mistake and demands a refund, but Roma convinces him to stick with the investment.
As the pressure of the sales contest intensifies, tension rises among the salesmen. Levene, desperate for a sale, manages to secure a large deal. However, he discovers that the buyer is actually a police officer investigating fraud, and Levene is arrested.
In the final act, the salesmen gather in the office, and the truth about the robbery is revealed. Moss, feeling betrayed and under pressure from the robbery investigation, confesses to the planned theft and implicates Aaronow. Moss is fired, and Williamson threatens to reveal the information to the police.
In a climactic scene, Roma confronts Williamson and demands the sales leads to secure his own success, even hinting at blackmail. In the end, Roma ends up with the leads, but the fate of the rest of the salesmen is left uncertain. The film concludes with a sense of despair and moral ambiguity as it explores the brutal and ruthless world of salesmanship.
