Tom Cruise enters the danger zone as Tony Scott pushes the limits of the Navy and his actors to achieve his sun-kissed vision.

Having proved he’s a star, Tom now wanted to test himself as an actor. While remaining in the shadow of Dustin Hoffman’s performance in Rain Man, Tom is able to get his first Oscar nomination by breaking out of his mold in Born on the 4th of July.
