Risky Business

Risky Business

1983

A pair of briefs, a Bob Seeger tune and some heartfelt lip-syncing catapulted Tom Cruise to stardom in this Golden Globe-nominated teen comedy. When his parents leave on vacation, high schooler Joel Goodsen (Cruise) -- with some help from a prostitute named Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) -- turns opportunity into disaster as he transforms the family home into a brothel, sees a Porsche end up in Lake Michigan and watches his Princeton dreams fade.

Joel had all the normal teenage fantasies... cars, girls, money. Then his parents left for a week, and all his fantasies came true. [UK Theatrical]
