Description

After the huge success of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, George Roy Hill re-teamed with Hollywood stars, Robert Redford and Paul Newman, for this dazzlingly inventive tale about revenge in 1930s Chicago. The Sting is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed films of all time. Set in the 1930's this intricate comedy caper deals with an ambitious small time crook (Robert Redford) and a veteran con man (Paul Newman) who seeks revenge on the vicious crime lord (Robert Shaw) who murdered one of their gang. How this group of charlatans puts "the sting" on their enemy makes for the greatest double-crosses in movie history, complete with an amazing surprise finish.


The Sting was nominated for ten Oscars, collecting seven on the night: Best Art Direction (Henry Bumstead, James W. Payne) ; Best Costume Design (Edith Head); Best Director (George Roy Hill) ; Best Editing (William Reynolds) ; Best Score (Marvin Hamslich); Best Picture (Tony Bill, Michael Phillips, Julia Phillips); Best Screenplay (David S. Ward).
