The Color of Money is a 1986 American sports drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is the sequel to the 1961 film The Hustler. Like the previous film, The Color of Money is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Tevis.
The film stars Paul Newman reprising his role as "Fast Eddie" Felson, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film also stars Tom Cruise playing a pool hustler, and features Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as the girlfriend of Cruise's character.
The plot follows the trio as they hustle pool halls and make their way to a nine-ball tournament in Atlantic City.
The film received a generally positive critical response on its release, although some critics thought that the film was an inferior followup to The Hustler.
