Tucker: The Man and His Dream

For director Francis Ford Coppola and executive producer George Lucas, Tucker: The Man and His Dream is a story after their own heart. The true-to-life tale of Preston Tucker and his daring venture to take on the big three automakers and manufacture a better car for the American driver had a special kinship for two of cinema’s greatest mavericks.

This true story depicts entrepreneur Preston Tucker, an innovator unrivaled in his day who introduced new features to automobiles that were decades ahead of their time. But Tucker’s efforts go in opposition to the established giants of car manufacturing who are committed to thwarting his success.
