Tom Cruised blazed on the scene in 1990 as a Cole Trickle, a stock car driver who gets a chance to drive in the Nascar league. Once he's made his presence known in the race car world, he has a serious accident, Cole is rushed to the hospital where he falls under the care of Doctor Claire Lewickie (Nicole Kidman). On the road to recovery he beings to fall in love but his driving continues to suffer. The other driver in the accident continues to worsen in condition causing Cole to become afraid of driving. Knowing what he needs to do, he sets out on his quest. To win Daytona, get his friend well and prove to everyone including himself that he can drive again.
This movie has tons of great actors in it, including Randy Quaid (you know he's hilarious), Robert Duvall and Carl Elwes. If you've never seen this movie...it's definitely a good watch. Fun Fact:While filming Days of Thunder Tom Cruise was married to Mimi Rodgers. However, he fell in love with Nicole Kidman and they were married within the same here.

Gotta love the celeb gossip! I actually just saw this movie for the first time about a month ago! True Story. Kinda cheesy like all things from the 80's & 90's but still a must see from Mr. Cruise!
that movie was on last night. we only watched a minute of it though. my fiance loves all these types late 80's early 90's movies but i haven't seen most of them. i suppose i should be more open and watch some ;)
i've seen this movie. but i really don't remember. :( i love movies from the 80's and early 90's. the rest of course, too. :D :D
I've never seen this...I guess I'll have to rent it now. I love Tom. He will age gracefully...if he doesnt get any ridiculous surgery's or somethng
