Redford continued as a major star throughout the 1990s and 2000s. He released his third film as a director, "A River Runs Through It", in 1992, which was a return to mainstream success for Redford as a director and brought a young Brad Pitt to greater prominence. In 1993, Redford played what became one of his most popular and recognized roles, starring in "Indecent Proposal" as a millionaire businessman who tests a couple's morals; the film became one of the year's biggest hits. He co-starred with Michelle Pfeiffer in the newsroom romance "Up Close & Personal" (1996), and with Kristin Scott Thomas and a young Scarlett Johansson in "The Horse Whisperer" (1998), which he also directed. Redford also continued work in films with political contexts, such as "Havana" (1990), playing Jack Weil, a professional gambler in 1959 Cuba during the Revolution, as well as "Sneakers" (1992), in which he co-starred with River Phoenix and Sidney Poitier, his first teaming with the star who had experienced film success several years before Redford.
