Addressing the theme of social markers of difference and intersectionality concerns understanding their roots, consequences and imbrications that produce and reproduce inequalities, resistance and confrontation of oppression. In this context, fictional narratives can constitute forms of representation and produce insights, as they perform practices and discourses. This study aimed to analyze the social markers of difference and the intersectionality represented in the figure of the organizational leader in the films Up in the Air, The Devil wears Prada and The Intern. Regarding the methodological procedures, a qualitative and descriptive research was done, considering in the films, date, subjects and place. Data collection took place through the structured microanalysis of each film and the discussion took place based on the categories of analysis of the social markers of difference and intersectionality. It is concluded that the differences and intersectionality approached in this article brings the fictitious organizational context, represented in the films examined, closer to the reality of many organizations, in which normative standards are reinforced through hierarchical and unequal relations. These are the result of crossing the social markers of difference (class, gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality and generation), apprehending a process of interconnected prejudices, which often occur in a subtle and silent way in the experience of organizational daily life.
