About the Movie: The 1988 film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, recounts the story of real-life inventor Preston Tucker and his attempt to produce and market the 1948 Tucker sedan, which was met with opposition from the "Big Three automobile makers" and accusations of stock fraud from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for which Tucker was acquitted in 1950.
