Output (English): Obsessed by the world of pool, Johnny Mars Callahan could be one of the best. But his mentor and trainer Joe Chazz Palminteri, a shady hustler who decides how and who Johnny plays, is holding him back from his dream. When the day finally comes, Johnny breaks from Joe, which leads to only one thing—violence. Joe is beaten up by some of Johnnys buddies as a sign to leave him alone, and with this final act of freedom, Johnny leaves the world of poolsharking. After an ultimatum from his girlfriend Tara Alison Eastwood, Johnny finally commits to a real job in the construction business, but is soon miserable there. He finds himself spending most of his time with his younger brother Danny Michael Rosenbaum who it seems is following in his footsteps on the road to a life Johnny left when he broke from Joe. As for Joe, he is bent on revenge for the beating he took, and soon he has a new protege Brad Rick Schroder who is just as good if not better than Johnny. And hes got his eye on Johnnys brother. The two play a highstakes game of pool which ends in a huge debt owed to Joe, and soon Johnny finds that his brother is in jail for trying to steal the money he owes. The only way out for Johnny is to play Brad, which results in a race to nine showdown that pits two of the greatest players against each other for large sums of money, and Johnny and Dannys lives. The game comes down to a very difficult shot for Brad. While calculating how to take the shot, Johnny provokes Brad by telling him how easy the shot is and how he would pay him to take it for him. Johnny takes the shot but doesnt sink the final ball. As Brad prepares to take the winning shot, Johnny stops him. Since he had taken Brads shot for him, it is now Johnnys turn. Johnny easily sinks the last ball and wins the game, using hustling techniques he learned from Joe to do so. In the last scene, Johnny is playing on the pro tour.
