About
Synopsis
Cocktail (1988) is a romantic drama directed by Roger Donaldson — watch it online on iFILM with Tom Cruise playing Brian Flanagan, a Queens kid who arrives in New York ready to conquer the business world. Corporate America slams its doors. He ends up behind a bar.
Veteran bartender Doug Coughlin, played by Bryan Brown, turns him into a showman: bottles spinning, crowds cheering, cash flowing. Brian rides the wave across Manhattan and down to Jamaica, where wealthy patrons and easy money start to feel hollow. Then he meets Jordan, played by Elisabeth Shue — someone who sees through the performance.
Directed with an easy summer touch, the film was one of the biggest box-office hits of 1988. Stream Cocktail in full online on iFILM.
