Country: US
Technical: col 125m
Director: Phil Alden Robinson
Cast: Robert Redford, Mary McDonnell, Sidney Poitier, Ben Kingsley
Synopsis:
Professional security breakers are hired to steal a 'black box' which decodes any encrypted information, but their employers are not who they seem.
Review:
Post-Cold War espionage caper which taps into the fascination with information of the computer age. It all works very smartly because the handling is light without being flippant and the characters likeable, if under-developed.
