THE STING[/naviga:h3]
Screenings 1 & 7*
Rated PG * running time 2:09
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning & Robert Earl Jones
When a mutual friend (Jones) is killed by a mob boss (Shaw), two con men - one experienced (Newman) and one young (Redford) - team up to try to get even by pulling off an elaborate "long con," to swindle an enormous sum out of the boss so neatly that he won't even realize he has been conned. Meanwhile, a cop (Durning) is also on the trail of Redford's character, who used counterfeit cash when the lieutenant tried to shake him down. This film won seven Academy Awards in 1974, including Best Picture, and was nominated for three additional honors.
*The evening show will be preceded by a jazzy tap routine by Lathrop School of Dance's Stardust team. Read more about these special screenings here.
