Maverick (1994)

Cast Bret Maverick Jr. .... Mel Gibson Annabelle Bransford .... Jodie Foster Marshal Zane Cooper .... James Garner

Synopsis

Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is a professional cardplayer traveling to a major poker game. The buyin for this game is $25,000, and Maverick is $3,000 short. During his quest to raise the money for the game, he joins forces with Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster). There are many comical scenes as Bret proceeds on his quest to the winner take-all poker tournament.

Poker Action

All of the poker scenes are five card draw. They are not realistic, though I doubt they were meant to be taken seriously anyway. They are fairly humorous. I mean, do you know when you'll magically draw a royal flush?
