About

Former pool player Fast Eddie Felson takes on a talented young hustler and his girlfriend for a road tour ending at a nine-ball tournament.

Former pool player Fast Eddie Felson, played by Paul Newman, has left the game and works as a successful liquor salesman in Chicago. He partners with pool players, among them Julian (John Turturro), who is outmatched at nine-ball by young, charismatic Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise). Eddie also meets Vincent's girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), whose inexperience at luring players to lose money he notices. Eddie tells the couple they have potential for hustling. After Carmen visits him to ask about his interest in Vincent, Eddie finds Vincent working at Child World and invites him on six weeks of hustling on the road, ending at a nine-ball tournament in Atlantic City. He gives Vincent a Balabushka cue stick and persuades him to accept. Eddie's abrupt departure upsets Julian and Eddie's girlfriend Janelle (Helen Shaver).
