The Sting – Special Edition

Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Sting, is one of the most popular and critically-acclaimed films of all time. Set in the 1930s, this intricate comedy caper deals with an ambitious small-time crook (Robert Redford) and a veteran con man (Paul Newman) who seek revenge on the vicious crime lord (Robert Shaw) who murdered one of their gang. How this group of charlatans puts “the sting” on their enemy makes for the greatest double-cross in movie history, complete with an amazing surprise finish. Directed by George Roy Hill Written by David S. Ward.

The con is on!

Critic Reviews:

• " The Sting adopts the playful, quasi-comedic tone evident throughout much of Butch Cassidy. On the whole, however, this is a more upbeat endeavor. " – James Berardinelli

• " The Sting remains the definitive con artist comedy: as irresistible and ingenious as the scheme that hooks in Doyle. ' – Patrick Smith

• " Extremely handsome production values and a great supporting cast round out the virtues. " – A.D. Murphy
