WTF Happened to Sneakers?

  • Let’s get this out of the way right off the top: Phil Alden Robinson’s “Sneakers” is one of the most criminally under-seen movies from the 90s - maybe of all time. Sporting an airtight plot, a phenomenal cast and splendid direction, it’s been relegated to cult classic status as opposed to just plain old “classic” status. And while there’s nothing wrong with being a cult classic, it’s just when a movie is this good, it’s always surprising to find there are so many people who’ve never seen it. Well, we’re here to change that the best way we know how, by cracking the code of what makes a great movie so special. So boot up your super-computers and draw down the shades - cuz you never know who might be watching you - and let’s find out What Happened to “Sneakers”.

    This movie is the reason why every year when my wife asks me what I want for Christmas I tell her " Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men." She has yet to tell me " We're the CIA. We don't do that."

Fantastic cast ,the chemistry between these amazing actors is delightful. Thrilling suspenseful and funny Topped off by a brilliant score by James Horner.

    Little bit of Sneakers' trivia: Lee Garlington, the actress who plays the assistant to Dr. Janyk, Dr. Elena Rhyzkov, she went on to appear in the movie "The Sum of All Fears" as Jack Ryan's supervisor at CIA. She and Affleck (who played Ryan) along with some others have a fun little back-and-forth in the office about the mistress of one of the Russians they've been tasked with studying up on. The mistress' name was Elena Rhyzkov.

      Phil Alden Robinson did an online Q&A for AFI, mine was the last question allowed. After all the usual questions about filmmaking, directing, screenwriting, cinematography… I asked if he knew who Dr Elena Rhyzkov was currently spending time with 😂 there was a pause (and I’m sure a few nervous shuffles) and he didn’t miss a beat- his typed answer was “I think Cherpitsky?” Talk about a class act!!

    One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. I remember seeing it on video store shelves throughout the 90's, one day I decided it looked good and I rented it. I've loved it ever since and have owned it in every form of media since then: VHS, DVD, and now Blu Ray. I even have the soundtrack. The movie is definitely ahead of it's time in so many ways. And it's message is universal. It's an endlessly rewatchable movie that not only has thrills, but comedy and emotion. Part of me has always wanted to see a follow up of some sort. But it's doubtful that this magic can be captured again.

    I remember seeing Sneakers in the theater the weekend it opened in 1992. I loved it! It reminded me of another great Robert Redford heist/crime comedy called The Hot Rock from 1972. Both films are smart, funny, thrilling and most of all utterly entertaining popcorn movies. If you haven't seen them, they'd make a perfect double feature.

    • @Redfoot138

      I can't remember if I saw it opening weekend but I did see it in theaters. I remember liking it a lot more than the friend who went with me.
      I've been trying to watch a lot of 70s movies lately and I'll have to check out more of Redford's stuff from that era. I think the only movie of his I've seen from that decade is The Sting.

    • @nellgwenn
      @nellgwenn 5 місяців тому

      The bank they break into at the beginning of the movie is the same bank they used at the end of The Hot Rock. There is an inside joke in Sneakers when Bishop says, "You wouldn't Believe what I went through to get a safety deposit box here".

    This movie holds a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorites. It's a light-hearted, fun caper movie, with lovable characters portrayed flawlessly, brilliant writing, one of the most beautifully shot films that I have ever seen, and a score that stands as a true masterpiece. I love the serious exploration of themes like technology in the hands of the powerful and their ability to manipulate the rest of us by controlling information. In 1992, that idea was was ahead of its time. Cosmo: ""The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons. There's a war out there, old friend, a world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information: What we see and hear, how we work, what we think. It's all about the information"! I really appreciated you mentioning the more serious tones to the movie, which get overlooked so often.

    I USED to be able to quote most of the movie, but now it's been so long, and I'm sorry to say that I don't have a copy, so I've probably forgotten more than I remember.

    "Passport"
    This is a great movie and my introduction to Mary Mcdonnell.

    Mother: Whistler, you're blind!
    Whistler: (strikes tuning fork) listen…
    Very clever dialogue. It is a brilliant movie. I've watched it more times than I could remember.

    I recently lent my DVD of Sneakers to a friend who has never seen it.

    I agree, it's excellent, worth watching. Sad to learn it is not more popular

    And on top of all that, the audience gets the wonderful--but all too brief--scene with Sidney Poitier and James Earl Jones playing opposite each other.

    I love this movie so, so, so, so much. It is criminally under-seen. Whenever I recommend 90s movies to friends, I always recommend this movie. I know the guys at CinemaSins also love this movie and will take about it every chance they get as well.

    Around 7:00 you point to paranoid thrillers for why Redford was good for the role, I would instead point to "the Sting" as hackers in real life tend to have a strong conman streak.

    2 minutes into this video I realize that this whole time I had Sneakers mixed up with a completely different movie... "Cheaters". Turns out I've never seen Sneakers before

    I have seen this movie, but it’s been so long ago that it’s going to be fun to watch it with new eyes, if that makes sense.

    Not even two minutes into the video and Joe Blo has spoilt the movie by revealing what the real MacGuffin is. Nice play!
