Glengarry Glen Ross (film)

Glengarry Glen Ross is a 1992 American drama film directed by James Foley and written by David Mamet, based on his 1984 play. The film depicts two days in the lives of four real-estate salesmen and their increasing desperation when the corporate office sends Blake, a motivational trainer with the threat that all but the top two salesmen will be fired within one week. Like the play, the film is notorious for its use of profanity, leading the cast to refer to the film jokingly as Death of a Fuckin' Salesman. The title of the film is derived from the names of two of the fictitious real-estate developments being peddled by the salesmen: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.
