Robert Redford and George Segal try to pull of the heist of the century in this entertaining ensemble piece with a lot of big payoffs! If you want a heist movie that gives you more for your money, then check out The Hot Rock: it’s four heists for the price of one! Robert Redford, charismatic as usual, is the leader of a criminal crew who are contracted to steal a valuable diamond. Unfortunately for them, their plots always hit an unexpected snag, and the diamond keeps winding up in different places that require them to steal it again and again: from a museum, a safe-deposit box, and even a police station. Directed by Peter Yates (Bullitt) and co-starring George Segal, this hidden gem expertly blends crime-caper thrills and big laughs.

Remembering Robert Redford

Robert Redford’s legacy is not only in the films he made, but in the way he lived – committed to the power of human and earthly connection, to truth, storytelling, and showing us that championing artists and sharing stories is pivotal to a healthy, open society.  Off screen, he championed the environment, independent voices, and the radical idea that stories can change the world. All who love and make movies are forever indebted to Redford and the path he forged. We’ll remain ever mindful of his constant message that storytelling is activism and that movies are a powerful force for hope.
