Synopsis: Days of Thunder (1990)

Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) is a young, cocky hotshot with little stock car driving experience and a lot of raw talent.

Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) is a young, cocky hotshot with little stock car driving experience and a lot of raw talent. Trickle's uncanny ability to make all the right moves on the racetrack wins him the backing of Tim Dolan (Randy Quaid), who wants to put him in a car. Eventually he wins the support of grizzled former driver Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall), a NASCAR legend who sees that Trickle has the potential to be a great driver. Determined to make it to the top, Trickle develops a healthy rivalry with veteran racer Rowdy Burns (Michael Rooker). Along the way, he romances Dr. Claire Lewicki (Nicole Kidman), a beautiful neurosurgeon. Hogge's mentoring (and a potential tragedy) leads Trickle through the dramatic process of self-discovery, which ultimately makes him a better driver. Directed by Tony Scott, DAYS OF THUNDER is reminiscent of his TOP GUN, the film that rocketed Cruise to stardom. Scott uses spectacular driving and racing scenes in this film, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Sound.

    Days of Thunder

    By David  May 9, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Days of Thunder (1990) review helpful

    Pros: Great action movie, with a storyline that is believeable

    Cons: If you HATE! NASCAR, it is difficult-but should be seen

    This is the movie that placed Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman together, and filmed in North Carolina. If you are a "Tom" fan, and a "Nicole" fan, and you even *remotely* like NASCAR films or racing at all (not required!)... This is a... MUST SEE film. The story line(s) are believable, the movie has realistic action (not Superman!) and is, of course, a love story as well. There is comedy, competition, and true action on and off the race track (I am not a real NASCAR fan), and exhibits the realization of several storylines that can, and do occur in real life. I won't reveal the line-this movie is a(repeat!) must-see and enjoyable film. Read more Less

    AWESOME MOVIE
