This enjoyable thriller, written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson (the screenwriter of Field of Dreams), follows a raggedy group of corporate security experts who get in over their heads when they accept an assignment poaching some hot hardware for the National Security Agency. Robert Redford plays the group's guru, an aging techno-anarchist who has been hiding from the feds since the early 1970s; his companionable gang of freaks includes Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, the late River Phoenix, and Sidney Poitier, as a veteran CIA operative turned "sneaker." The technological black box that everybody is after, an array of computer chips that can decode any encrypted message, isn't a very plausible invention, but it's a serviceable McGuffin, and the megalomania of the master plotter played by Ben Kingsley has more resonance than most. Modest inferences can be drawn about the very latest high-tech threats to civil liberties. --David Chute

 Check this one out. June 16, 2009
James W. Cornwell
A star-studded cast each of which doing an excellent job with their role. This is essentially a caper movie, and although some of it is dated, since it deals with technology, the story itself is strong and extremely enjoyable. I won't tell you what it is about, because you can get that from anywhere, what I will tell you is the movie is certainly worth adding to your collection. It's serious when it needs to be, funny when it needs to be, and immersive throughout.

Sneakers just cracks me up. I got this movie for my brother's birthday because we both enjoy the whole idea of the Sneakers movie...I laugh at the same scenes every single time. When they all take a turn dancing with Liz, it makes me laugh out loud and Whistler driving the van at the end? This is the best part. I have always enjoyed Robert Redford's movies, and the ensemble cast just made it even more perfect. Too bad River Phoenix died so young.

D. H. Lehew (Dallas, TX USA)
I've enjoyed this movie for many years on video tape, loaned it to someone and now caouldn't find it. My daughter found the me in DVD on Amazon.com. It's about 'hackers', people paid to try to break into banks, break codes, etc. I LOVE this movie! It has an all-star cast.
