A straight-A student and model son, Joel is on the cusp of being accepted into a prestigious college when his parents take a vacation. Home alone, Joel has the chance to cut loose. But as soon as he does, his life spins wildly out of control. A fun yet profound portrait of 1980s American youth, Risky Business gave Cruise scope to highlight his skills as both a comedic and dramatic actor. It’s an incredible, star-making lead performance and an electrifying glimpse of what was to come.
