Tucker: The Man And His Dream (1988)

Tucker: The Man And His Dream is the story of Preston Tucker (Jeff Bridges), a post World-War II entrepreneurial car manufacturer who recently has construed a plan to make the best car ever seen on this Earth. Tucker relies on help from his good friend and business associate Abe Karatz (Martin Landau) to put into action the plan and to also gain crucial government funding. Tucker’s plan is good, even too good that it causes panic amongst the auto industry, and the heads of major car manufactures band together to shut down Tucker once and for all. Tucker must now fight to keep his dream alive and to resurrect his image, which has been wounded by his competitors.
