A self-made millionaire and the socialite he loves personify the Jazz Age in this new adaptation of Fitzgerald’s famous novel of glamour, greed and excess. Well bred but of modest means, Nick Carraway journeys into the world of Long Island’s idle rich during the Roaring ’20s and encounters the titular self-made millionaire Gatsby, who is yearning for Nick’s aristocratic—and already married—cousin Daisy.
