Legendary actor Paul Newman (?Message in a Bottle?) and Academy Award? Nominee Tom Cruise (Best Actor, 1996, ?Jerry Maguire?) ignite the screen in this powerful drama. Brilliantly directed by Martin Scorsese (?Bringing Out The Dead?), Newman re-creates one of his most memorable roles from ?The Hustler?. As Fast Eddie Felson, he still believes that "money won is twice as sweet as money earned."
Synopsis: Pool-hall yarn about an aging hustler in the twilight of his career who offers to teach the tricks of the trade to a talented neophyte. During the on-the-road tutorial, master and student butt heads over the apprentice's cocky style, which costs them winnings and could wind up costing them much more.
