THE HOT ROCK premieres in New York. Directed by Peter Yates. Adapted for the screen by William Goldman from the novel by Donald E. Westlake. Breezy heist caper with Robert Redford as a recidivist thief who teams up with his no-good brother-in-law and two other reprobates to steal a precious gem from a Brooklyn museum. As each best laid plan inevitably starts to go astray, the bungling, wise-guy cat burglars soon discover that stealing the gem proves to be much easier than actually keeping it in their possession. George Segal, Ron Liebman and Paul Sand co-star.
