Phil Alden Robinson’s SNEAKERS
(PG-13, 1992, 125 min)
Last screened at Retro in 2017!
Robert Redford leads an all-star cast, including the great Sidney Poitier and Dan Ackroyd in an exciting caper! Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers—including a former CIA employee (Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Ackroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn)—who are routinely hired to test security systems. But Bishop’s past comes back to haunt him when government agents blackmail the “sneakers” into carrying out a covert operation: tracking down an elusive black box. Along with his former flame (Mary McDonnell), Bishop’s team retrieves the box and makes a stunning discovery—the device can break into any computer system in the world.
