The Hustler
DramaRomance134 min
Small-time pool hustler Fast Eddie Felson moves from backroom games to a high-stakes showdown with the legendary Minnesota Fats, determined to prove he is the best. Talent gets him to the table, but pride keeps him there too long, and the loss that follows leaves him broke, exposed, and chasing a rematch he may not be ready for. As Eddie tries to turn raw skill into the discipline needed to beat a champion, money men and hangers-on crowd in, each with their own price. Paul Newman anchors Eddie’s climb through smoky pool halls where every game tests not just his aim, but how much of himself he is willing to trade to win.
