00:00 Remember that Sting experience? How good you felt?
00:07 Now, the Sting, winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, is back.
00:17 Chicago was the place to be in 1936. In those days, the big con was a dying art.
00:24 Until a first-class grifter on the lam from the FBI and a young gaffer from Joliet joined
00:31 forces to con the big Mick.
00:34 He's not as tough as he thinks.
00:37 Neither are we.
00:39 Paul Newman is Henry Gondorf. There wasn't a con he couldn't run. And there wasn't a
00:48 sucker he couldn't gaff.
00:51 Robert Redford is Johnny Hooker, a young grifter with plenty of moxie.
00:55 Three grand on the rent, Jimmy.
00:57 But he's a sucker for lady luck.
00:59 Tough luck, kid.
01:00 And a sap for lady love.
01:02 Thanks for the big evening. Next time you want to spend 50 bucks on me, mail it.
01:07 Come on, will you?
01:08 Robert Shaw is the mark. In the underworld, he's the big Mick.
01:12 Name's Lonegan. Darlene Lonegan.
01:15 It starts with the setup.
01:17 You owe me 15 grand, pal.
01:21 [laughs]
01:23 Then you bait the hook.
01:25 Your boss is quite a card player, Mr. Kelly. How does he do it?
01:29 He cheats.
01:31 You play him on the wire.
01:33 The wire's been out of date for 10 years.
01:35 That's why he won't know it.
01:36 Now he's ready for the sting.
01:39 [bell ringing]
01:42 [buzzer]
01:44 He's there. Let's get on it.
01:46 Come on, Hooker!
01:49 [thud]
01:51 [crash]
01:52 Listen to me. Don't go back to your place tonight.
01:55 $500,000 to win.
01:59 Lucky Dan.
02:01 Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
02:04 This time, they might get away with it.
02:07 [theme music]
