Enron's CEO in a prison with a golf course? The fraud was the least absurd part.
Mockumentary of the Enron scandal. The bankrupt company's CEO (McShane) is locked away at a country club prison where he spends his time practicing his golf swing. Meanwhile, his greedy wife (Forlani) spends what cash is left, and the company's former employees (all of whom seem to be mentally challenged) scramble to find new jobs.
Writing
Ruthless satire that aged terrifyingly well.
Acting
McShane's smug oblivion is maddeningly perfect.
Director
Nancy Hower
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released just two years after Enron's 2001 collapse, this TV movie rode the wave of public fury before the 2005 documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room became the definitive account.
The title 'Memron' is never explained in-film—it's presumably a nonsense corporate name, though some speculate it's an anagrammatic jab at 'Enron' itself. The 3.0 TMDB rating suggests audiences were not amused.
