Output (English): Jerry Maguire Tom Cruise is a glossy 35yearold sports agent working for Sports Management International SMI. After having a lifealtering epiphany about his role as a sports agent, he writes a mission statement about perceived dishonesty in the sports management business and his desire to work with fewer clients so as to produce better quality. In turn, SMI management decides to send Bob Sugar Jay Mohr, Jerrys protege, to fire him. Consequently, both Jerry and Sugar call all of Jerrys clients to try and convince them not to hire the services of the other. Jerry speaks to Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell Cuba Gooding Jr., one of his clients who is disgruntled with his contract. He needs a 10 million contract for his family to live on. Jerry informed him if he gets injured for the season, he will get no money from the Cardinals. Rod tests Jerrys resolve through a very long telephone conversation while Sugar is able to convince the rest of Jerrys clients to stick with SMI instead. Leaving the office, Jerry announces that he will start his own agency and asks if anyone is willing to join him, to which only 26yearold single mother Dorothy Boyd Renee Zellweger agrees. Meanwhile, Frank Cush Cushman Jerry OConnell, a superstar quarterback prospect who expects to be the number one pick in the NFL Draft, initially also stays with Jerry after he makes a visit to the Cushman home. However, Sugar is able to convince Cushman and his father to sign with SMI over Jerry the night before the draft. Cushmans father implies they decided to sign with Sugar over Jerry when they saw Jerry attending to Tidwell; an AfricanAmerican player, versus his son a white player. After an argument, Jerry breaks up with his disgruntled fiancee Avery Kelly Preston. He then turns to Dorothy, becoming closer to her young son, Ray Jonathan Lipnicki, and eventually starts a relationship with her. Dorothy contemplates moving to San Diego as she has a secure job offer there, however she and Jerry agree to get married. Jerry concentrates all his efforts on Rod, now his only client, who turns out to be very difficult to satisfy. Over the next several months, the two direct harsh criticism towards each other with Rod claiming that Jerry is not trying hard enough to get him a contract while Jerry claims that Rod is not proving himself worthy of the money for which he asks. Rod takes Jerrys advice to prove he is worthy of his contract. Rod is playing well and his team is winning. Meanwhile, Jerrys marriage with Dorothy gradually deteriorates and they eventually separate. During a Monday Night Football game between the Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys, Rod plays well but appears to receive a serious injury when catching a winning touchdown, securing a spot for the Cardinals in the playoffs. He recovers, however, and dances for the wildly cheering crowd. Afterwards, Jerry and Rod embrace in front of other athletes and sports agents and show how their relationship has progressed from a strictly business one to a close personal one, which was one of the points Jerry made in his mission statement. Jerry then flies back home to meet Dorothy. He then speaks for several minutes, telling her that he loves her and wants her in his life, which she accepts. Rod later appears on Roy Firestones sports show. Unbeknownst to him, Jerry has secured him an 11.2 million contract with the Cardinals allowing him to finish his pro football career in Arizona. The visibly emotional Rod proceeds to thank everyone and extends warm gratitude to Jerry. Jerry speaks with several other pro athletes, some of whom have read his earlier mission statement and respect his work with Rod. The movie ends with Ray throwing a baseball up in the air surprising Jerry. Jerry then discusses Rays possible future career in the sports industry with Dorothy.
