First time I saw Cruise was Taps 1981 which I got a kick out of, Tim Hutton, Penn and Tom Cruise as teens with a George C Scott in the beginning of it. .
Next I saw him in Risky business which I didn’t care for.
I alway like Tim Hutton in movies.
Ray Millard and Frankie Avalon star.
Talk about moral conflicts in a plot.
Looters going after them is bad, but him robbing a gas station owner because he is being charged too much (gauged him) is OK. (the loophole is the gas station owner didn't tell him the price till after he pumped it). Its all wrapped up in protecting his family.
He teaches his son to kill but lectures him to hate it.
His wife seems to have a suicide wish.,
