Product Information
Francis Ford Coppola directed this truly American story based on the real-life struggles of one man and his fight against big government and large corporations. In 1945 Michigan, Preston Tucker (Jeff Bridges) created a car for the future equipped with fuel injection, a center headlight, seat belts, a rear engine, disc brakes, shatterproof glass, and a pop-out windshield. With the support of his wife (Joan Allen), his son (Christian Slater), and his business manager (Martin Landau in an Academy Award-nominated performance), Tucker produced fifty of his dream cars. However, Detroit's Big Three, with the help of a Washington senator (played by Jeff Bridges's father, Lloyd, in an uncredited role), set up significant roadblocks. Tucker is investigated for fraud and his plant is closed. Coppola had been planning to make a film based on the life of Preston Tucker since 1974. His own struggle to retain independence from the Hollywood studios mirrors the auto maverick's story. Of the 50 cars Tucker made, 46 are still roadworthy (Coppola and Executive Producer George Lucas each own one). Pop musician Joe Jackson composed the music for the film.Product Identifiers

Tucker Should be in the Media Library of Every Home In America
Tucker Should be in the Media Library of Every Home In America. It is important that our children know every aspect of this nation's history. We should never forget how the rich and powerful can squash a man's or woman's dream. I first saw this movie in theaters. I consider it both educational and entertaining. It was interesting to discover that many of the features on cars that we take for granted today were first introduced by Tucker. Furthermore, these same features were initially ridiculed and rejected by the three major car manufacturers, and that Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have more than been paid back for what they did to Mr. Tucker. While they worked so hard to keep one more American from realizing the, American Dream, in the years since, multiple foreign car manufacturers have flooded the marketplace. Giving them far more competition than Tucker would have. I thought the movie was very informative, well acted by the entire cast, and that Jeff Bridges gave a standout performance.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Tucker 40s Automobile
Well executed, characters are awesome. Good plot based on a true story. American greed between the auto companies. Even tho Tucker was a better automobile, well beyond the vision of his creator. Innovations that did not take hold into late the 1970s early 80s.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

What a car!
Coppola movies are great, and this production is fine. After reading two books about Tucker you come to realize "it's a movie" and that so much of the life of Preston Tucker has been glossed over. The car has lived on, a cherished piece of automobile history.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Interesting history lesson on what large corportations get away with
This was an interesting look at how Tucker was treated when he came up with incredible ideas to make automobiles more efficient. Like any other great ideas, the big money folks rule the world!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Amazing Man
This was a wonderful, entertaining, and funny movie. His automobiles were way beyond their time. And since they were made the year I was born, I wasn't familiar with him or them so it was educational also.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great movie for car buffs and intrigue
Saw the film when first in theaters, loved it then and now. Great story and acting about a little known company and the man. Fantastic background on commentary track and extras. Don't know if the 2000 release in "Sensormatic" ? is like.. I was sent the original version. But its highly enjoyable story and engaging to follow.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
