1983 Trading Places Official Trailer 1 Paramount Pictures
Every year in December, we celebrate the season with Christmas movies. Our first Christmas movie is this 1983 comedy from producer Aaron Russo, about how the street guys beat the oligarchs, starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd.
The movie takes place in Philadelphia and tells the story of an upper-class commodities broker (Aykroyd) and a poor street hustler (Murphy) whose lives cross when they are unwittingly made the subjects of an elaborate bet to test how each man will perform when their life circumstances are swapped.
Teaming up, they turn the tables on the oligarchs—talk about a “feel good” message for this Christmas!
