Revenge, grifter style. The timeless team of Robert Redford and Paul Newman shine together as two hard-luck, hard-living con men looking to settle a major score. When their mutual friend is killed in the aftermath of a big job, our guys pair up to execute a convoluted and ingenious grift on the biggest fish in town. As the plan unfurls we’re never quite sure who’s getting ahead of who, and the cons keep our heads on a swivel until the final frame. Full of laughs, action, and one of the biggest ensembles of criminals working together to achieve glorious comeuppance, this classic by director George Roy Hill is still the blueprint for the sophisticated swindler.
