The Sting II
The con is on... place your bets!
Directed by Jeremy Kagan
Produced by Universal Pictures
A lighthearted con-artist caper set in 1940s New York, built on clever schemes, witty banter, and the playful cat-and-mouse dynamics of grifters outwitting a mob boss.
Hooker and Gondorf pull a con on Macalinski, an especially nasty mob boss with the help of Veronica, a new grifter. They convince this new victim that Hooker is a somewhat dull boxer who is tired of taking dives for Gondorf. There is a ringer. Lonigan, their victim from the first movie, is setting them up to take the fall.
