The next film to be presented this year as part of the American Film Summer will be Maverick. Maverick is the name of a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them. He needs an additional $3,000 in order to enter a Winner Take All poker game that begins in a few days. He tries to win some, tries to collect a few debts, and recover a little loot for the reward, all with a lighthearted air. He joins forces with a woman gambler with a marvelous, though fake, southern accent as the two both try and enter the game.
The leading roles are played by Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner, under the direction of Richard Donner.
Film Release: 1994. In English with Czech subtitles. Duration: 127 mins.
