All the Right Moves: The Films of Tom Cruise
From his iconic slide across the floor of a suburban Chicago living room in Risky Business to his considerably riskier footwork atop a Dubai skyscraper in Mission: ImpossibleāGhost Protocol, Tom Cruise has spent a remarkable three decades as the worldās most popular movie star, and one of its most adventurous and unpredictable actors. An instant pop culture sensation for his role as the fighter pilot Pete āMaverickā Mitchell in Top Gun, Cruise quickly cemented his serious dramatic credentials opposite Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man and in Oliver Stoneās Born on the Fourth of July, while breaking box-office records in blockbusters like Minority Report, The Last Samurai, War of the Worlds and the Mission:Impossible series. As he takes on his latest, sure to be iconic role in the Paramount action drama Jack Reacher, we salute Cruise with a special in-person event followed by a seven-film sampler of his extraordinary career. Series programmed by Scott Foundas.
An Evening with Tom Cruise
Out of respect for the families who lost loved ones in Newtown, CT, we are postponing tonight's fundraising event with Tom Cruise to benefit the 50th anniversary fund which supports K-12 education and new artist programs. We extend our love and condolences to our neighbors. Our community grieves with yours. Information about ticket refunds will be provided shortly.
Fresh from his biggest worldwide success to date with Mission: ImpossibleāGhost Protocol, we are pleased to welcome three-time Academy Award nominee Tom Cruise for a career-spanning conversation and a special advance screening of the hotly anticipated Jack Reacher.
Born on the Fourth of July
Cruise earned the first of three Oscar nominations for his transformative portrayal of disillusioned Vietnam vet Ron Kovic in Oliver Stoneās shattering portrait of the loss of American innocence.
Jerry Maguire
Cruise earned his second Best Actor Oscar nomination as the eponymous high-powered sports agent whose existential epiphany loses him all but one client (Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding, Jr.) in Cameron Croweās wry American success story.
The Last Samurai
Ed Zwickās visually majestic, old-fashioned Hollywood epic stars Cruise as a disillusioned Civil War vet hired to train conscript in Japanās first modern army, caught between the past and present of a rapidly changing nation.
Mission: Impossible
Finding himself the only survivor of a mission gone awry, secret agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) must unravel the conspiracy in the film that launched the successful franchise, directed by master of suspense Brian De Palma.
Rain Man
As a slick yuppie unexpectedly reunited with his autistic older brother (Dustin Hoffman), Cruise more than holds his own in Barry Levinsonās beloved 1988 Oscar-winner.
Risky Business
Tom Cruiseās breakout role was in this epochal paean to yuppie self-actualization as a high school student who has his parentsā house all to himself and soon finds himself running something resembling an underground brothel out of his suburban abode.
Top Gun
Cruise flew into the danger zone (and sent sales of Ray-Bans and leather jackets soaring) as a hotshot Navy pilot romancing his civilian instructor (Kelly McGillis) in producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scottās prototypical ā80s blockbuster.
