Used car hustler Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) is told that his
estranged father has died. He expects to receive at least a portion
of the $3 million estate, but discovers he has inherited only his
father's prize roses and a Buick Roadmaster.
The $3 million has been put into a trust for an undisclosed party
so Charlie heads to his home town of Cincinnati to find out who
the lucky party is.
The secret beneficiary is Raymond Babbitt, the autistic-savant
older brother Charlie never knew he had. Charlie must earn the trust of his brother in order to divert the inheritance.
