Sneakers (5/9) Movie CLIP - Changing the World (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Cosmo (Ben Kingsley) discusses the power of money and the consequences it holds with Bishop (Robert Redford).

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.

HIT US UP:

[PetShopMod]

This is one of the most powerfully written scene in film history. The accuracy of this dialogue is frighteningly dead-on. Whats even more poignant, is that this film is almost 20 yrs old. 'Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it'.This film is grossly under rated

[TylerZed]

This scene, and this entire movie, is in my DNA.
There's no other movie like it and I couldn't tell you why.

[djstubbs]

Ben Kingsley and Robert Redford were impeccable in this scene.

[MichaelLee-ttgm]

"Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."

[Sig_P]

1992 predicted the future.

"Wars are not fought with bullets or weapons anymore. Its all about the information... little bits of data... 1s and 0s. Its all about the information!"

[SaneIsCrazy]

Some of the most chilling and moving film scoring I've ever heard, particularly 1:43-2:23.

[MarkDice]

Redditors on hedge funds after Operation GameStop.

[ardillarojo]

Think Redford and Kingsely thought this was a silly fantasy 25 years ago? Would love to hear their comments about the scene now!

[alaric]

I saw this film when I was only 11 or 12 and I has stuck with me. I am 40 now and scenes like this ring truer than ever!

[TubinPanther]

Between the dialog from Coz and James Horner's music this scene is still absolutely haunting..

[coolcat]

Great scene. Fun Fact: Redford & Kingsley are sitting on an old Cray Supercomputer. Very impressive for their time but, nowadays, even an iPhone is several times faster than this beast was.

[joepodkalicki]

I did not understand this scene when the movie was made. Now I do. This movie was such a sleeper hit.

[mastermindmartialarts]

0:37-1:31 The truest words ever. I've loved this movie for 20 years

[PetShopMod]

i listen to this particular score from the soundtrack (Cosmo old friend) when i cant sleep. It's beautiful, haunting and clear all at once.

[stgerman]

“Sneakers” was one of the first outright hacker movies.

[Inaworldoflove]

When you meet up with your former bestie and still have the same connection but are on different paths. It's sad, I've had a reunion just like this.

[morzMOV]

i absolutely love this scene. moves perfectly, writing is stellar, and the acting top notch. very rare (especially today)

[doddeddo]

Man this movie really is a masterpiece...best cast ever not only Redford and Kingsley but River, Mr. Sidney Poitier..Dan Aykroyd...Tobolowski..and they all nail it

[siechamontillado]

The score in this movie may not have received praise, but really, that scene (besides Kingsley's and Redford's performances) is elevated thanks to the score. Haunting, slightly cryptic, and a bit of hope that is then dashed and recedes when Redford closes the door on a potential partnership.

[BenjaminHeyman]

God damn the soundtrack in this movie and in this scene in particular is unbelievable
