Episode Details

What happens when you hire one legendary TOP-tier movie star (Paul Newman) returning to play a character he played once before 25 years prior (Fast Eddie Felson in 1961's The Hustler)....pair him up with one giant up-and-coming movie star (Tom Cruise)....and then hire possibly THE greatest American filmmaker (Martin Scorcese) of the past 50 years to direct?? 

Well the result might very well be an excellent road movie/sports drama all set within the world of competitive billiards.  If nothing else, it might be worth watching just to see Cruise learn the ropes from Newman....or DOES he?  Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, John Turturro, Helen Shaver, and Forest Whitaker also round out the cast.
