In the high-stakes world of international finance, a charming and eccentric British banker, played by Toby Kebbell, orchestrates one of the most audacious frauds in history, using the whimsical alias "Mr. Toad." This gripping biographical drama, directed by Luis Mandoki, delves into the true story of a man whose elaborate deceptions captivated and betrayed the global elite.

The film masterfully explores the tension between dazzling ambition and crushing consequence, painting a portrait of a man racing to stay ahead of his own collapsing fantasy. With a tone that balances dramatic intensity with the surreal atmosphere of a life lived as a performance, "Banking on Mr. Toad" questions how far one can go before the line between legend and liar disappears forever.
