Om denne filmen

Robert Redford leads an all-star cast in one of the most satisfying suspense films! Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers including a former CIA employee (Sidney Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Dan Aykroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn) who are routinely hired to test security systems. But Bishop's past comes back to haunt him when government agents blackmail the "sneakers" into carrying out a covert operation: tracking down an elusive black box. Along with his former girlfriend (Mary McDonnell), Bishop's team retrieves the box and makes a stunning discovery the device can break into any computer system in the world. With factions from all sides willing to kill for the powerful box, Bishop and his team embark on their most dangerous assignment ever in this exhilarating high-tech caper from Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams).

A movie that is likable and intriguing. Sneakers knows how to thrill but doesnt forget to have fun. A modern day classic. Great actors, great plot, and it is all accompanied by a soundtrack that is just excellent. This movie delves into computer cryptography and government secrecy. It's one of the more realistic movies on the topic, and really makes you think after the credits roll. Worth watching with a lot of friends and family.

One of my all time favorite movies. Great cast - including the late River Phoenix - carries some shaky writing and it's just a really fun story if you don't get picky about everything. Story is very appropriate given current headlines regarding NSA spying. You don't have to get lost in the technology.... just enjoy it.

Still one of my favorite films. They took a few classically serious actors, plus Dan Aykroyd, and allowed them to do a comedy espionage caper. Such a great movie!
