Risky Business

ComedyCrimeDramaRomance99 min

High school senior Joel Goodson is the responsible kid in Chicago’s wealthy suburbs—until his parents leave town, the house is empty, and the family Porsche becomes the start of a very expensive problem. Tom Cruise is Joel, a college-bound 17-year-old whose attempt to cut loose turns into parties, panic, and a scheme to raise cash fast. Rebecca De Mornay’s Lana, a poised call girl who enters his orbit, pushes the night further off course, while Joe Pantoliano turns up as a suspicious pimp with his own stake in the situation.
