Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a high-powered, smooth-talking sports agent working for a massive agency. Despite his success, he is plagued by a crisis of conscience regarding the impersonal and greedy nature of his industry. Late one night, inspired by a guilt-driven vision, he writes a mission statement titled "Things We Think and Do Not Say." The manifesto suggests fewer clients, less money, and more personal attention to the athletes. Jerry Maguire 1996
