more than simply the triumph of human spirit and francis ford coppola tucker represent the man and his dream specifically show how preston tucker ( jeff bridge ) seek to challenge the dominance of the big automaker and they set out to destroy him . i have never hear of preston tucker before watch this movie and so it be fascinate to learn about his deed . bridge be great a the entrepreneur and with joan allen a his wife vera . i see that coppola have weigh make this movie right after the godfather part 2. while i do believe that he make the correct choice in make apocalypse now which i consider his great movie this certainly would have constitute a fine follow up to the film about the corleone family . definitely worth see . also star martin landau and frederic forrest and mako and christian slater and jay o. sander and lloyd bridge and michael mcshane ( in his final role ) .
