Best Picture 1989 Oscar winner. A young Tom Cruise, and Dustin Hoffman give signature performances in this hugely enjoyable classic.
Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) introduces his autistic brother Raymond (Hoffman or Rain Man of the title) to Blackjack...
Raymond has a penchant for counting cards and the couple quickly win $86,000 in one sitting. Watching over them, the Casino Surveillance team can't quite work out how they did it - commenting at one point that it was impossible to count a 6 deck shoe - go figure!!
Either way, the film cleaned up at the Oscars - including best screenplay.
