Tommy is a 1975 British musical film, based on The Who's 1969 rock opera album musical Tommy. It was directed by Ken Russell and featured a star-studded cast, including the band members themselves (most notably, lead singer Roger Daltrey plays the title role).

The film is sung-through, with occasional sporadic and surrealist elements. The plot begins as a sun lowers behind the horizon followed by several romantic experiences between Royal Air Force Group Captain Walker (Robert Powell) and his wife, Nora (Ann-Margret), among the intimacy of nature. Sometime later, Captain Walker's aeroplane is shot down while fighting in World War II. Nora receives the news while at work in a munitions factory filling bombs with ball bearings. She soon thereafter gives birth to a baby boy, Tommy. She eventually meets Frank Hobbs (Oliver Reed), known to Tommy as Uncle Frank, at a holiday camp and starts a relationship with him. Tommy, still only a boy now, hopes to one day own his own holiday camp.

Captain Walker, believed dead for six years, returns home one night. Tommy follows him to the master bedroom where Walker sees Nora and Frank (now Tommy's stepfather) in each other's arms. Tommy then watches Frank kill Walker by smashing a lamp on his head; in the original album version and later musical, however, it is Captain Walker who kills his wife's lover. Tommy is then told that he "didn't hear it, didn't see it" and "won't say nothing to no-one". As a result, Tommy goes into shock and ultimately becomes non-responsive, leading people to believe that he is deaf, dumb, and blind.

The film jumps ahead ten years, and Tommy, now a young man, is being taken by his mother and stepfather on various attempts to cure him, including a religious cult (centered on Marilyn Monroe from The Seven Year Itch and led by Eric Clapton as the preacher) and the Acid Queen (Tina Turner), a prostitute dealing in LSD who sends Tommy on a wild trip that ultimately, however, fails to awaken him, but does make him combine the Christian imagery his mother has tried to teach him with the image of his dead father, creating a half-cross/half-human symbol (that he later uses as a symbol in his own cult). Meanwhile, Nora and Frank Hobbs are rather negligent of Tommy, and leave him in the hands of his sadistic cousin, Kevin (Paul Nicholas), who beats him, and his uncle, Ernie (Keith Moon), who molests him.

Tommy Walker has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
