Synopsis
White Men Can't Jump centers around Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson), a white street basketball hustler in Los Angeles, and Sydney Deane (Wesley Snipes), his black counterpart. Initially rivals who constantly try to outdo each other for money on the court, they eventually team up after realizing their skills are better suited for bigger games against less skilled opponents. However, Billy's gambling debts lead him into trouble with loan sharks, putting both him and Sydney in danger. Meanwhile, Billy also starts a relationship with Gloria (Rosie Perez), a woman who initially supports Sydney but grows closer to Billy as the story progresses.

Résumé
Directed by Ron Shelton, White Men Can't Jump is a buddy comedy-drama that subverts racial stereotypes through its titular phrase, popularized in the film. The movie uses basketball games on the streets of Los Angeles as a backdrop for exploring themes of male friendship, racial segregation, and personal growth. Despite its comedic tone, it also touches on serious issues like gambling debts leading to violence and the struggles of working-class people trying to make ends meet.
