The Old Man & the Gun
This story is mostly true.
Directed by David Lowery
Produced by Condé Nast Entertainment, Endgame Entertainment
A charming, character-driven heist story about an aging outlaw's final run, told with warmth and humor rather than menace.
The true story of Forrest Tucker, from his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Wrapped up in the pursuit are a detective, who becomes captivated with Forrest’s commitment to his craft, and a woman, who loves him in spite of his chosen profession.
