Having dared to play alongside Newman, now there was Dustin Hoffman, and Hoffman in a show-stealing Oscar role to boot. But it should be noted that Cruise, as Charlie Babbitt, a flash yuppie who discovers a less superficial life with his retarded brother, was the one who made that film. Hoffman needed someone onscreen to react to him, to lend him humanity, to connect with the audience - and Cruise, his performance ignored in the rush to praise Hoffman's, did it brilliantly. Then came Cocktail. Director Roger Donaldson had just done the superior Kevin Costner thriller No Way Out, the producers were expecting an update of The Graduate; it turned out to be an empty-headed jumble (though Cruise made an impressive tequila juggler).
Yet Cruise's trajectory was upwards, and now came Oliver Stone's Born On The Fourth Of July (something of a cheat, that, as Cruise was actually born on the 3rd). Here Cruise played real-life Vietnam vet-turned-anti-war-activist Ron Kovic, a man physically destroyed yet spiritually raised by the paralysis of his lower body. He won his first Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. He moved on to Days Of Thunder, again with Tony Scott. And his second wife.
