A classic hardboiled tale of a beautiful talent for life in smoky poolrooms Fast Eddie Felson has a reputation as a pool hustler to be feared, but his ambitions go far beyond taking small-town punks for a few bucks here and there.

He heads to Chicago to test himself against the legendary Minnesota Fats in more than forty-hours of high-stakes pool.
