All the Money in the World

Criminal Adaptations

This week we examine Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World (2017), the thrilling drama based on the infamous 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, the grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty. We dissect the film’s intense portrayal of wealth, power, and familial dysfunction, while comparing it to the true events that shocked the world. The episode also explores the Getty family’s vast fortune, their legacy in the oil industry, and the personal tragedies that plagued the bloodline for generations. Why did one of the richest men in history refuse to pay his grandson’s ransom and what does this reveal about the darker side of immense wealth? Whether you’re a fan of the film or curious about the true story behind it, this episode is a deep dive into a family saga that continues to intrigue the world.
