Synopsis

Glengarry Glen Ross follows a group of competitive Chicago real estate salesmen as they vie for leads in order to sell undesirable resort property to unwitting customers. As the men grow increasingly desperate to win the company contest for largest number of sales, they willingly employ various unethical and illegal practices in order to get ahead. It is only a matter of time, however, before their behavior catches up with them; a detective is called to the scene to investigate, and the truth starts to emerge. A dynamic look into the ruthless world of real estate, Glengarry Glen Ross is a sharp, fast-paced, and witty drama. Editor's Note: Glengarry Glen Ross contains adult language.
