The sports comedy-drama film Jerry Maguire was released on December 13, 1996. Starring Tom Cruise in the lead role, the film follows the story of Maguire, a sports agent at Sports Management International.
Upon its release, the film quickly became a box office hit and was well-received by audiences. The film's screenplay and acting were particularly praised, leading to multiple award nominations for the film and its cast across various ceremonies.
One often-overlooked aspect of the movie that deserves recognition is its soundtrack. The score for Jerry Maguire was crafted by Nancy Wilson, who was then married to the film's writer and director, Cameron Crowe. The soundtrack featured 13 tracks, including Momma Miss America by Paul McCartney, Pocketful of Rainbows by Elvis Presley, and Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen.
