Sailing the streets of Manhattan atop a double-decker bus, Timothy "Speed" Levitch waxes philosophical as the city's most eccentric tour guide. Speed's bombastic and psychedelic poetry is captured in the documentary THE CRUISE, the groundbreaking debut feature film from two-time Academy Award-nominated director Bennett Miller (CAPOTE, MONEYBALL, FOXCATCHER).
Remastered for its 25th anniversary, THE CRUISE is an ode to a bygone era and an epic, intimate portrait of a personality that can only exist in New York City.
