| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Set against the world of high stakes poker, DEAL follows the
story of Alex Stillman (Bret Harrison), a cocky, hotshot,
card-playing senior at Yale University. Alex dreams of becoming
a professional Texas Hold'em poker player but does not yet
have the skill to master the table. Fortunately for him, a
chance encounter introduces Alex to retired poker legend,
Tommy Vinson (Burt Reynolds). Tommy was at the top of his
game twenty years ago but gave it all up in order to save
his family.
Upon meeting Alex, Tommy realizes he can regain his own self-confidence,
pride and a poker championship title by turning Alex into
his protege. The two pair up and master every tournament they
enter. The winning streak and friendship between the two is
eventually thwarted by the interference of a Las Vegas call
girl, Michelle (Shannon Elizabeth). The pair eventually part
ways and separately prepare for the World Poker Tour. Only
one will take home the championship title.
