in 1992 and when sneaker come out and the internet be just get off the ground . what they portray in this movie seem more like what one would expect to find in a 21st century movie . robert redford and sidney poitier play hacker and with an entire syndicate make up of dan aykroyd and david strathairn and river phoenix . follow a few strange incident and the whole group find itself involve in a vast and bizarre scheme . the movie isn not totally easy to follow and but the occasional comedic bit make up for that ( namely the scrabble scene and the voice recording and and the end ) . not any kind of masterpiece and but worth watch nonetheless and what with it mixture of suspense and goofiness .
