Color of Money, The

Color of Money, The

1986

The hustler isn't what he used to be: "Fast" Eddie Felson (Oscar-winner Paul Newman) has given up pool for life as a liquor salesman. But then he meets Vincent (Tom Cruise), a cocky natural who makes a cue ball crack like a lightning bolt. Eddie takes Vincent under his wing and on the road, but are teacher and student destined to become competitors?

The Hustler isn't what he used to be, but he has the next best thing. A kid who is.
