There are maybe a handful of woman in this very large ensemble cast, but none of them have scenes together or speak to each other. Perhaps this is less significant for the lack of women in film than for the lack of women in business and government.

eddi disagreed with the rating and said:
This movie just barely passes the letter of the Bechdel rule. While the Lehman board is voting on whether to file for bankruptcy, the (female) board secretary asks Admiral Evans (Admiral Marsha Evans in real life) what her vote is. There is another female board member seen but the scene ends before her vote is taken.
