Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a top agent at Sports Management International, he is handsome, charming, and devoted to his glorious client roster and stunning fiancee Avery Bishop (Kelly Preston). In fact, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Jerry Maguire that a sudden dose of failure can’t cure. After he is fired for writing a stirring, visionary suggestion for his firm’s future – a Mission Statement that suggested his firm should focus on real caring for fewer clients instead of production-line sports management – Jerry is forced to start over… from scratch.

With his only client, Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a second-tier football player, and his wistful young assistant, Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zelweger), Jerry sets out for a very uncertain future. Along the way, they will discover the value of true human interaction, love and respect and prove to the world what is possible if you live by your principles.
