This plot point in Goldfinger blew my mind as a teenager (spoiler: Goldfinger does not want to steal gold - he want's to make the gold in Fort Knox radioactive, to raise the value of the gold he has). If there is one important subject that is not that hard to understand, but poorly understood by the general public, it's how markets work. I know many well educated people who make trivial mistakes when thinking about markets.
