Sneakers

In 1992 we got into feet with Phil Alden Robinson’s heist comedy, Sneakers. When it’s discovered that a security specialist is a fugitive on the run, his team helps him perform a heist for the NSA that can clear his name for good. But when it’s discovered that things are not as they seem, the team must scramble to make things right and keep the world a little safer. Starring Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, and David Strathairn, this flick did not lack talent and brought in a respectable $105 million from the $23 million budget. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent, discuss government security shortcomings and the value of a phone number as we try to see if Sneakers kicks ass or has a weak sole.
