Based on a true story, American Made<\/em><\/a> is a riveting crime drama that sees Cruise play a rare non-heroic role. Beneath his all-American looks, Bobby isn\u2019t that great of a guy, and his desire for a better life puts his family in danger of being assassinated by drug kingpins or arrested by American authorities. But Cruise shows why everyone around Bobby is seduced by him: with his devil-may-care attitude and movie-star charisma, the Cocktail<\/em> actor makes you buy Bobby\u2019s outlandish plan to get rich quickly that eventually proves to be his undoing.<\/p>\n\u2018The Outsiders\u2019 (1983)<\/h2>\n\n![\"Emilio](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/the-outsiders-1983.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

Based on S.E. Hinton\u2019s beloved 1967 young adult novel of the same name, The Outsiders<\/em> was initially a victim of everyone\u2019s high expectations. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola<\/strong>, who was still riding high from his \u201970s masterpieces, and starring a cast full of then-newcomers, it wasn\u2019t the outright classic everyone expected it to be. But time\u2019s been kind to the flawed adaptation, with Howell, Lane and Macchio shining as players in a love story that\u2019s doomed from the beginning. As fellow Greaser Steve Randle, Cruise stands out in a supporting role, playing a character whose bad-boy swagger intimidates his rivals and attracts girls from the right and<\/em> wrong sides of the tracks.<\/p>\n\u2018The Firm\u2019 (1993)<\/h2>\n\n![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/the-firm-1993.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\n Tom Cruise in The Firm.<\/span> Everett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYoung lawyer Mitch McDeere (Cruise) didn\u2019t have much growing up, which is why he accepted the generous job offer from a little-known Memphis firm right after he graduated from Harvard Law School. How could he risk a six-figure salary, a house in the suburbs and a new car? When Mitch discovers the firm is a front for the mob, he soon regrets his decision. But no one leaves the firm, at least not alive, and if he cooperates with the FBI and testifies against his employers, he\u2019ll lose his law license and will have a target on his back for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
