What happens

The Color of Money is a 1986 American sports drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is the sequel to the 1961 film The Hustler. Like the previous film, The Color of Money is based on a novel by Walter Tevis. The film stars Paul Newman reprising his role as "Fast Eddie" Felson, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film also stars Tom Cruise playing a pool hustler, and features Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as the girlfriend of Cruise's character. The plot follows the trio as they hustle pool halls and make their way to a nine-ball tournament in Atlantic City. The Color of Money was released by Buena Vista Distribution Co. on October 17, 1986. It received positive reviews from critics, though some considered it inferior as a sequel to The Hustler. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
