A sports agent has a moral epiphany, writes a mission statement calling for fewer clients and more personal attention, and promptly gets fired.

A film about work, love, and what it means to show up.

Fun Facts

Jerry Maguire (1996) stars Tom Cruise as a high-powered sports agent who pens a bold mission statement criticizing his industry's greed, gets fired, and rebuilds his life with just one loyal client and a single mother. He represents wide receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), whose "Show me the money!" demands and family-first ethos clash with Jerry's desperation, while he woos ethical nurse Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger).
