One of those instances where everything good about Hollywood just fell into one place at the right time, it's almost impossible not to get swept up in the vivaciousness of The Sting as a whole.

What is The Sting about? Toggle content

The Sting is a classic comedy-drama film set in the 1930s, following the story of two grifters, Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) and Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman), who team up to avenge the murder of their friend and fellow con man, Luther Coleman (Robert Shaw), at the hands of ruthless crime boss Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). With the help of a seasoned crew of con artists, they meticulously plan and execute an elaborate scam known as "the wire," creating a phony off-track betting parlor to swindle Lonnegan out of his fortune. Along the way, Hooker and Gondorff must evade both Snyder, a corrupt Joliet police lieutenant, and Lonnegan's men, who are hot on their trail. With its sophisticated plot twists, witty dialogue, and memorable performances from its all-star cast, The Sting has become one of the most beloved and enduring films of all time.
