America's biggest stars are in trouble.

In this new trailer for Money Monster -- a film directed by Jodie Foster -- George Clooney plays Lee Gates, a Wall Street whiz and TV personality who gets taken hostage live on his show by an angry investor (Jack O'Connell). Julia Roberts plays the show's producer, desperate to find a way to save Gates from the hostage situation.

Of course, the investor is more than just an angry criminal -- he's on a search for high-profile financial justice, the kind only Gates can provide.

Money Monster will hit theaters in May.
