About this movie

Ante up-for laughter and action aplenty! Mel Gibson is sly gambler Bret Maverick, Jodie Foster is a charming scam artist and James Garner (the original Bret Maverick, from the Emmy-winning TV series) is a laid-back lawman in Maverick, the crowd-pleasing hit that deals you a winning hand. With more twists than a switchback trail and more sleights of hand than a shell game, Maverick is rollicking proof of how the West was fun. A riverboat poker tourney promises a winner-take-all $500,000...and Bret aims to be the winner who does the taking! But first he must cope with the hangman's noose, a runaway stage, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, ingrates, a bagful of rattlesnakes and more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. So don't miss the excitement. The jokers-Gibson, Foster and Garner-are wild! MPAA Rating: PG (c) 1994 Warner Bros. and Icon Distribution, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Great flick takes the original premise of the TV series and updates it for the modern audience. It retains the same authenticity of the show (although probably exceeds it), and adds to it fantastic performances from all the actors, including the perfect choice of James Garner to reprise the role that made him famous on TV. Add in Randy Newman doing a great score and director Donner's signature humor, and you have a fantastic film.
