star represent robert redford and dan akroyd and ben kingsley and sidney poitier and river phoenix and mary mcdonnell and david straithairn this movie be just so good and it almost hard to sum up the greatness in a review . at one point this be basically my favorite movie and but now it just one of my favorite movie . it still get a place on the mantel . the movie start with a young marty and cosmo back in 1969 do some early computer hack . theyre busily transfer money from those who have it to those who need it . example and take from richard nixon personal checking account and give it to the association of legalized marijuana . truly and robin hood . but then marty get hungry and so he head out for pizza . when he get to the van and try to start it and flash light appear outside and head upstairs and and haul cosmo away . marty run and and then it fade to present day and which when the movie be make and be 1992. martin brice ( redford ) now go by the alias of martin bishop . he have an interesting job . a a bank teller say and so you get hire to break into other people place and to make sure nobody can break into their place . in the team be a blind sound expert who go by the name of whistler ( straithairn ) and an electronics expert who go by mother ( akroyd ) and a teenager name carl ( phoenix ) and and an ex cia agent and donald crease ( poitier ) . one day they get some client who walk in with a long list of information on all the people in bishop team . the only person they do not have info on be martin bishop . they then identify themselves a nsa and tell bishop that they know his real identity and and ask to meet with them again for a special assignment . that assignment be to steal a little black box from some mathematician . bishop crew doesn not know what the box do and so they accept the offer . a part of the deal it pay $ 175 and 000 and and they will clear bishop record . once they have the box and they fiddle around with it a little and discover that it be actually a sophisticated code breaker that can hack american encryption system . but when they be get ready to give it to the nsa guy and they find out that dr. janek and the mathematician and have be murder . at this point it kind of hard to not wonder how important the box be and but unfortunately and the box be already in the nsa hand before they find out about janek and and so they drive away with no money and no little black box . it around this point where the plot of the movie really take off and it get very interesting . i be not go to say much else . you will just have to watch it for yourself and see . bottom line represent 4 out of 4 ( own this movie ) .
