Details

Never seen this one, but I did see the same duo in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at the Naro a couple month ago and enjoyed that, so time to check this one out.

RUNTIME: 129 minutes

SYNOPSIS (via NBC Universal): Winner of 7 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, The Sting stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as two con men in 1930s Chicago. After a friend is killed by the mob, they try to get even by attempting to pull off the ultimate 'sting.' No one is to be trusted as the twists unfold, leading up to one of the greatest double-crosses in movie history. The con is on!
