Robert Redford leads an all-star cast in one of the most satisfying suspense films! Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers - including a former CIA employee (Sidney Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Dan Aykroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn) - who are routinely hired to test security systems. But Bishop's past comes back to haunt him when government agents blackmail the "sneakers" into carrying out a covert operation: tracking down an elusive black box. Along with his former girlfriend (Mary McDonnell), Bishop's team retrieves the box and makes a stunning discovery - the device can break into any computer system in the world. With factions from all sides willing to kill for the powerful box, Bishop and his team embark on their most dangerous assignment ever in this exhilarating high-tech caper from Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams).

Critics Consensus: There isn't much to Sneakers' plot -- and that's more than made up for with the film's breezy panache and hi-tech lingo.

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

Steve Warren

Director and co-writer Phil Alden Robinson abandons the sentiment of Field of Dreams for a film that's just as manipulative, but a lot more fun -- good, commercial moviemaking.

Enduring past its tech's sell-by date, it's still "Mission: Quite Possible," with pragmatic paranoia, perfect pacing and thoughtful reflection on how tough it is to reconcile rage against the machine after the machine assimilates your method of rebellion.

Part of the pleasure afforded by such a sequence comes from the careful exposition of intricate teamwork, combined with an adroit attention to the personalities involved.

There's plenty to like about Sneakers. There's just a little less than you might expect.

...persistently (and increasingly) engrossing...
