The film is based on the novel written by Richard Jessup. It is about an important game between the Kid and the Man. The Kid is famous poker player and the Man is the reigning poker champ. What will happen?
Falta-lhe a complexidade moral e psicológica de Desafio à Corrupção, mas, ainda assim, é um filme com personagens suficientemente interessantes para prender nossa atenção.

It's the Hustler, with Steve McQueen playing stud poker instead of Paul Newman shooting pool.
McQueen's first teaming with director Jewison is not as fun to watch as the later Thomas Crown Affair, but the actor gives a cool, understated perfromance.
