1992 Directed by Phil Alden Robinson
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.

What an adorable heist movie. Just a stellar ensemble cast, with the right stakes and narrative propulsion, but never taking itself overtly serious. At its best, it feels like De Palma's Mission Impossible while beckoning the slick entertainment of Soderbergh.
"Be a beacon?"
I've loved this movie for ages; its simple formal economy, its light, clever touch, its perfect casting, its novel (for its time) story. As I get older I'm gradually a little more disappointed that the allegedly rebellious good guys are basically caving to the status quo, but this is still a blast.
robert redford and sidney poitier robbing the republican national committee and donating all their money to black college students you love to see it
(Episode 4 of The 'I have always wanted to watch that' Podcast Joey Porter)
Just a couple years before Tom Cruise started going on impossible missions, it was Robert Redford and company pulling heists, cracking codes, and stopping the bad guys.
"There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!"
Sneakers was the movie on my parent's VHS shelf that I remember looking at countless times, but just never popped in the player. Turns out the movie has nothing to do with shoes, but rather being sneaky when…
I love a 3 and 1/2 movie, I just do. Hit all the right spots.
River Phoenix is so good. Dang! One of the only reasons I was consistently laughing out loud. In a movie with Akroyd!
Sometimes you just need a movie to put on and this, for me, was it!
"The Goonies, but they're middle-aged, disillusioned hippies" works surprisingly well??
Robert Redford stars in this crime comedy as an ex-hacker turned security expert who is blackmailed by the authorities into stealing a top secret black box, with Sidney Poitier, Ben Kingsley, Dan Ackroyd, River Phoenix and David Strathairn.
It’s great fun, with the cast all seeming to be enjoying themselves, having a great dynamic that sets the tone immediately. Redford’s laidback, charming performance holds it all together, his presence recalling the caper movies of the seventies that he’d previously starred in.
Though the story gets quite far-fetched and a little silly in places, there’s a breezy quality to the way it’s told that makes it engaging. Because it never takes itself too seriously, the film has a lightness and sense…
Finishing off my run of rewatches tonight (I can't be arsed copying and pasting that long name I created for them) with something that more people should be familiar with.
I know Sneakers is well over 20 years old now but I still think there is something quite comforting in the fact that a film like this was a pretty notable box office hit. Sneakers took over $100 million at the box office despite the fact that it probably isn't really your normal multiplex filling crowd-pleaser. It's a bit more savvy than that, takes its time, puts together a plot, and opts for a cast that is noted more for its acting ability than its ability to put bums on…
Have you ever wanted to watch a movie so bad but then you read a review here by a LB friends with a pretty negative rating and overall review and you start to feel worried and all the hype is gone?
Its clear many other people here seems to love this one, and I can certainly see why. The amazing essemble cast exhumes such gravitas and its clear many of them are just having fun. And in that regards, that's the best out of the entire film, to watch them have a good time its pretty contagious.
Unfortunately the movie all these great performers are is often confusing, completely uninteresting and lacks any real style. Again, just like I've been…
