Stacy's Knights (1983)
Director: Jim Wilson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Costner met up with writer Michael Blake and director Wilson, the team with whom he'd later make Dances with Wolves, on this early effort, the first time he'd played a leading part on film. The central role in this pretty duff thriller though goes to Millian as a shy young woman whose gambling fever leads her to get together a gang of card-sharps to take on the blackjack tables at a Mafia-owned casino.Author: TJ
