Synopsis

Eddie Murphy established himself as a comedy superstar in his role as street-wise hustler Billy Ray Valentine. Fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Dan Aykroyd co-stars as Louis Winthorpe III, a wealthy investment executive at Duke Brothers, a Wall Street firm. The fun begins when the rich and greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether born loser Valentine could become as successful as the priggish Winthorpe if circumstances were reversed. The Dukes have the money to make this happen, but when Valentine and Winthorpe catch on they arrange for a rich and riotous payback!

    Play the stock market? Wanna live the life of the other? This movie's for you. Louis Winthorpe III(Dan Ackroyd) is a upper-class broker who's got it all: Home, money, fiancée, the high life. Then there's Billy Ray Valentine(Eddie Murphy), a con artist, trouble-maker, homeless, got his wits to survive. Then you got the Dukes: Mortimer(Don Ameche) and brother Randolph(Ralph Bellamy). What do they do? Switch their lives. When Billy Ray invited the big crowd to the house, they make a mess out of it, and he throws them all out, for free-loading. Louis on the other hand is trying to get back to the life he was living, with the help of a prostitute with a heart named Ophelia(Jamie Lee Curtis). When Billy Ray finds out, he lets Louis on the scheme when he recovered from a near fatal overdose. Louis wants revenge on the Dukes more than Billy Ray.
