To honour the titan of Hollywood Robert Redford, we present the quintessential American crime caper.

Winner of 7 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, The Sting is a stylish caper that defined the con-artist genre and reunited screen legends Paul Newman and Robert Redford after their unforgettable pairing in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Set in 1930s Chicago, the film follows small-time grifter Johnny Hooker (Redford) and veteran con man Henry Gondorff (Newman) as they plot an elaborate revenge scam against a ruthless crime boss. With sharp dialogue, ingenious twists, and Scott Joplin’s ragtime score, The Sting remains one of cinema’s most entertaining and enduring classics—a masterclass in charm, suspense, and the art of the long con.
