Sneakers, Phil Alden Robinson’s light and breezy, techno-themed heist caper opens nationally. Co-written by Robinson, Lawrence Lasker and Walter Parkes, Robert Redford toplines as the leader of an eclectic San Francisco-based computer hacking outfit that specialises in testing the cyber security installations of high profile companies.

Co-starring, Sydney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, David Strathairn and Ben Kingsley
