Sneakers (7/9) Movie CLIP - Navigating by Sound (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Whistler (David Strathairn) helps Bishop (Robert Redford) navigate his memory of sound from the night before to determine where he was taken.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this tech-thriller from director Phil Alden Robinson, a group of five renegade computer hackers, led by Martin Bishop (Robert Redford), are hired by the government to steal a black box, containing a code-breaking machine, from the mathematician who invented the device. The government is able to persuade Martin to take the job by convincing him that they will drop a decades-old federal warrant for his involvement in computer fraud. Martin agrees and he takes his team on the mission, eventually taking the box. Shortly after the hackers have stolen the device, the mathematician turns up dead. Before long, the quintet realize that they've gotten themselves into more than they'd originally bargained for, as Bishop's old rival Cosmo (Ben Kingsley) enters into the fold. The eclectic ensemble also includes River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, and James Earl Jones.

[fredlandry]

This is a great movie that was ahead of its time.

[michaelholle]

Whistler is my favorite, for sometimes seeing the obvious is still hard too comprehend.

[alex]

"there's a cocktail party at the lol... RIP Sidney Poitier, you will be missed :(

[pratsch]

Sad that kids now days might never discover gems like this.

[AxelCrespo-oc]

R.I.P. River Phoenix (August 23, 1970 - October 31, 1993) 😢😭😥😔🙏🪦

[andrewgardner]

These guys were like the ghostbusters meets the a-team and leverage.

[st.francisxavier-kc]

this sequence is amazing. your eyes will deceive you and your ears will mislead... when working together, but separately they tell you the truth.

[ciphernine]

Massively underrated movie. Definitely in my top 10.

[cherryblossoms]

The mother of all IT / AI movies. Lpve the cocktail party! Best cast ever! Miss River so much

[setheheart]

scene is genius. the movie is a true gem.

[Geographus]

The score in some of the tense scenes seemed a lot like Apollo 13 and just as I thought, this is James Horner as well.

[PatrickPrejusa]

ONE OF MANY BRILLIANT SCENES IN THIS MOVIE

[DrownedInExile]

Right after the end: "Where does this road lead?"
"Nowhere. It's private property."
"...Private!"
(Everyone races back in the van.)

[RadioNul]

currently wearing the same headphones as whistler

[kennethrussell]

Poitier and Phoenix worked together before in "Nikita" in 1988.

[Tigerman]

Oh come on! They didn’t show the geese?!

🍸 🎊 = sounds of geese chattering.

[brianfeathers]

David Strathairn (Whistler) didn’t receive any award nominations in the same year Scent of a Woman was released and Pacino took the Oscar for Best Actor. Does anyone else think Strathairn’s performance as a blind person was less worthy?

[machiner]

My favorite part of the movie, on par with the scene in the Ring where Rachel finds the secret on the cursed video tape.
