Trading Places is a comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd as a street hustler and a wealthy commodities broker who find their lives reversed as part of a bet between two callous millionaires. The film explores social class, wealth, and the absurdity of the financial world, all delivered with sharp wit and memorable performances.
The Fort Worth Film Club was founded in 2022 after the closing of Fort Worth’s lone art house theater: the Grand Berry Theater. Continuing what the Grand Berry started, the newly branded Fort Worth Film Club's goal is to build a community in Fort Worth around a shared love of film. The Fort Worth Film Club hosts free monthly screenings aiming for films with cultural and local importance. These screenings are open to the public and are followed by a moderated discussion.
