“It's a joy to look at and has that rarest of present-day ingredients, Hill's hallmark -- taste. What glitters here is pure movie gold.” - Judith Crist, New York Magazine/Vulture

[The Sting] is an unalloyed delight, the kind of pure entertainment film that's all the more welcome for having become such a rarity. What's more, it's a triumph of quality Hollywood craftsmanship.” - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.
