Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman), a self-destructive, ambitious pool player is out to beat Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). With Sarah (Piper Laurie), his alcoholic girlfriend and Bert (George C. Scott), the sinister, big-league pool backer, this is the ultimate tale of talent, compromise, doomed love, death, and redemption. In other words, winning and losing in America.
