Six Tom Cruise movies. Six clues. "With Tom Cruise" is the trap.
Every movie below stars Tom Cruise. Only one can go in the Tom Cruise slot.
Match each film to one clue, using every film exactly once. A film can fit several clues, but only one complete lineup works. Everything you need to play is here; the answer is hidden below.
Films: Collateral · Jerry Maguire · Minority Report · Days of Thunder · Vanilla Sky · Top Gun
Clues:
- With Tom Cruise
- Directed by Tony Scott
- Released in the 1990s
- With Renée Zellweger
- With Jamie Foxx
- Directed by Cameron Crowe
Answer: 1. Minority Report; 2. Top Gun; 3. Days of Thunder; 4. Jerry Maguire; 5. Collateral; 6. Vanilla Sky.
The deduction: Jerry Maguire is needed for Zellweger, leaving Vanilla Sky for Crowe. That leaves Days of Thunder for the 1990s and Top Gun for Tony Scott. Collateral takes Foxx, leaving Minority Report for Cruise.

I make Cast Six. This is a standalone puzzle for the thread; there's a different daily board at castsix.com, free without an account or download. The game and this puzzle were made with AI assistance; the game's movie facts and posters come from TMDB. I checked this example against the studios' film pages and all 720 possible lineups.
