Confidence men - the aristocrats of the underworld. Intelligent, colorful, non-violent, the con artist zeroes in on his victim for one purpose - "the sting" - the moment when he separates his mark from his money. In this fast-paced comedy adventure story, Paul Newman and Robert Redford are the team of daring con men, practicing their nefarious art in Chicago in the 1930s. Their elaborate plan, executed with an abundance of wit and charm, gradually envelopes Robert Shaw, an underworld chieftain whose greed clouds his vision. Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (George Roy Hill) and Best Screenplay.
