Mobile phones first hit the big screen in the 1980's, quickly becoming symbols of wealth and power with their bulky "brick" designs.
These devices were notoriously large! In the 1987 film "Wall Street", Michael Douglas epitomized this trend,
exuding cool confidence as he talked on his oversized phone.
