Watch Jerry Maguire Online

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent working for Sports Management International (SMI). After suffering a nervous breakdown as a result of stress and a guilty conscience, he writes a mission statement about perceived dishonesty in the sports management business and how he believes that it should be operated. His fellow employees are touched by his honesty and greet him with applause the next business day but the company management orders Maguire fired for his actions.

The management sends Bob Sugar (Jay Mohr), Maguire's protégé, to fire Maguire. Jerry and Bob then proceed to call all of their existing clients to try to convince them to not hire the services of the other. Jerry gets through to Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), one of his clients who is disgruntled by his contract that he believes to be far inferior than that of his teammates. Tidwell tests Jerry's resolve through a very long telephone conversation, which culminates in the famed "Show Me the Money!" telephone yelling match between Rod and Jerry. Meanwhile, Bob Sugar secures most of Jerry's previous clients as his own. Leaving the office, Jerry announces he will start his own sports management agency and asks if anyone is willing to join him to which only single mother Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger) agrees. Boyd had previously bumped into Maguire in the airport and told him personally how inspiring she found his "memo". As the two of them attempt to operate a sports agency together, Jerry becomes closer to her young son, Ray, and eventually starts a relationship with Dorothy. Jerry concentrates all his efforts on Rod, his only client, who turns out to be a very difficult client to satisfy. Over the next several months, the two direct harsh criticism towards each other with Tidwell claiming that Jerry is not trying hard enough to get him a contract while Jerry claims that Tidwell is not proving himself to deserve the money for which he asks. In the process of trying to succeed financially in his new enterprise, Jerry dumps his fiancee, Avery (Kelly Preston), and enters into a marriage of convenience with Dorothy. She later offers to let Jerry out of the marriage to relieve him of the stress of worrying about a wife with a son and concentrate only on his business.

After a Cardinals game in which Tidwell played well and almost received a serious injury, Jerry and Rod get renewed confidence for a lucrative contract for Rod. After months of harsh words and criticism directed towards one another, the two embrace in front of other athletes and sports agents and show how their relationship has progressed from a strictly business one to a close personal one, which was one of the points Jerry made in his mission statement. Jerry then flies back home to seek out Dorothy and tell her that he loves her and wants her in his life. Rod Tidwell later appears on a sports show for an interview. Unbeknown to him, Jerry has secured him an $11.2 million contract with the Cardinals that will allow him to finish his pro football career in Arizona. The visibly emotional Tidwell proceeds to thank everyone who helped accomplish this success and extends warm gratitude to Jerry for his help. Jerry, who is also on the set of the show, speaks with several other pro athletes, some of whom have read his earlier mission statement and express their positive opinion of it as well as respect for the work he had done with Tidwell. The film ends with Jerry, Dorothy and Ray walking in the park and stumbling across a Little League baseball game. When the ball lands near them, Ray picks it up and throws it back onto the field; a surprised Jerry comments on his throwing arm.
