In Magnolia, Tom Cruise plays the best role in his career as a guru who sells his macho philosophy about taming women under the slogan 'Seduce and destroy!'. Magnolia plays out over 24 hours during which he, and eight other, mutually connected leads go in search of happiness, but have trouble making contact. All are trying to come to terms with their pasts.
