Sneakers
We could tell you what it's about. But then, of course, we'd have to kill you.
Directed by Phil Alden Robinson
Produced by Universal Pictures
A clever, warmly-toned heist-thriller about a team of misfits using brains and camaraderie to outwit shadowy forces, balancing espionage tension with humor and genuine affection.
When shadowy U.S. intelligence agents blackmail a reformed computer hacker and his eccentric team of security experts into stealing a code-breaking 'black box' from a Soviet-funded genius, they uncover a bigger conspiracy. Now, he and his 'sneakers' must save themselves and the world economy by retrieving the box from their blackmailers.
