A 1984 novel by Walter Tevis, ''The Color of Money'' was the sequel to his classic debut novel, ''The Hustler''. Its 1986 film version, directed by [[Martin Scorsese]], brought back [[Paul Newman]] along with new co-star [[Tom Cruise]]. Newman, who was nominated for the [[Academy Award]] for [[The Hustler (film)||the original 1961 film]], actually won the Oscar this time around.
Twenty-five years after he abruptly retired from the world of pool, Fast Eddie Felson (Newman) is now a liquor salesman. One day, he meets aspiring pool player Vincent (Cruise) and his girlfriend, Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). Seeing Vincent as himself as a young man, Fast Eddie takes him up as a protégé. Unexpectedly, this inspires Fast Eddie to take up the pool stick once again.
