About this movie

Jeff Bridges gives a dazzling performance as Preston Tucker, a dynamic automotive visionary determined to create the car of the future. Against all odds, Tucker builds the Tucker Torpedo, and the better, safer and more beautiful his car becomes the more opposition stiffens until his factory is shut down by Detroit’s Big Three auto manufacturers. Tucker must fight for his American Dream in this passion-project film from Academy Award®-winning director Francis Ford Coppola.

This sad but true story shows what DETROIT COULD HAVE BEEN- with the Tucker, leading the way for innovation and safety. Notice the number of bad reviews of this movie! Probably Detroit SHILLS and Disinformation experts.

Excellent movie. Excellent acting. My favorite line in the movie was when he said soon we'll be buying our cars from our enemies.(at the time it was the Japanese)
