Genres & Description

Comedy Crime Drama

8.3 / 10

Johnny Hooker, a small time grifter, unknowingly steals from Doyle Lonnegan, a big time crime boss, when he pulls a standard street con. Lonnegan demands satisfaction for the insult. After his partner, Luther, is killed, Hooker flees, and seeks the help of Henry Gondorff, one of Luther's contacts, who is a master of the long con. Hooker wants to use Gondorff's expertise to take Lonnegan for an enormous sum of money to even the score, since he admits he "doesn't know enough about killing to kill him." They devise a complicated scheme and amass a talented group of other con artists who want their share of the reparations. The stakes are high in this game, and our heroes must not only deal with Lonnegan's murderous tendencies, but also other side players who want a piece of the action. To win, Hooker and Gondorff will need all their skills...and a fair amount of confidence.

I saw this movie when it premiered, Christmas of 1973. It's too bad Redford and Newman never had the chance to team up again. I went and bought the soundtrack album right afterwards. I think the 70s were the last era of original film making in Hollywood. - @Sunday, February 7, 2016 1:01 AM

Excellent trailer for an excellent film. Too bad Universal lost its touch years ago, nowadays it only puts out, save for a few golden nuggets, only mediocre to terrible tentpole releases. - @Sunday, May 31, 2015 4:23 AM
