Days of Thunder
1990 · TMDB 6.4
Directed by Tony Scott
Talented but unproven stock car driver Cole Trickle gets a break and with the guidance of veteran Harry Hogge turns heads on the track. The young hotshot develops a rivalry with a fellow racer that threatens his career when the two smash their cars. But with the help of his doctor, Cole just might overcome his injuries-- and his fear.
Why it matters
Tony Scott returns to the theme with NASCAR racing. Cole Trickle has raw speed and zero patience, a combination that wins races but nearly kills him and his crew chief. The film is Top Gun on asphalt, with the same question: can you tame a talent without breaking it?
