Movie Poster, "Tucker: The Man and His Dream," 1988
Add to SetSummary
Director Francis Ford Coppola brought Preston Tucker's story to the big screen in the 1988 film Tucker: The Man and His Dream. Jeff Bridges played the super salesman out to revolutionize the postwar auto industry with his futuristic, rear-engine Tucker 48 sedan. While historical accuracy occasionally took a back seat to drama, the movie correctly captured the excitement generated by Tucker's car.
