Money Monster (2016)

Clooney is Lee, the self-involved host of a cartoony investment show (a la Jim Cramer). When one of his top stocks bottoms out overnight, people are mad. One’s mad enough to come to the station, outfit Lee in a vest full of explosives, and basically hold the studio hostage while he demands answers.

Of course the kid has a point. Of course those watching the show are siding with him. Of course Lee comes to understand and care about him. It’s serviceable but unsurprising.
