John has lost all his money. He sits outside a diner in the desert when Sydney happens along, buys him coffee, then takes him to Reno and shows him how to get a free room without losing much money. Under Sydney's fatherly tutelage, John becomes a successful small-time professional gambler, and all is well, until he falls for Clementine, a cocktail waitress and sometimes hooker.

Hard Eight is a really great movie. It's a slice of life film that starts after the events that propel it have begun and ends before those events play out. Phillip Hall, moving his cuff at the end is a great example of revealing character by action. - @Friday, March 29, 2013 4:10 AM

This film has NEVER been on TV....it's a smart film and well-acted.....watch for the cameo by Philip Seymour Hoffman as the drunk on the craps table. - @Sunday, October 28, 2007 10:37 AM
