About this product

Product Information

Excellent Oscar-winning drama set in 1930s Illinois in which two con men set up an elaborate scheme or 'sting' to fleece a big-time crook in revenge for the killing of a friend. Their ruse employs a whole line-up of con artists in setting up an establishment where the scam can take place which will involve serious money and, given their target, a serious risk. Winner of seven Oscars including Best Musical Adaptation for Scott Joplin's The Entertainer.

  • VERY ENTERTAINING MOVIE.

    The Sting has always been one of my favourite movies. The first time I watched this movies was in an American cinema in the early 1970's when it was a brand new release. I also like its musical score.

  • A fast paced movie.

    It's a great film with Paul Newman and Robert Redford at their best. The music of Scott Joplin helps the film along. Just a great film.
