Sneakers (3/9) Movie CLIP - Private Investigator (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bishop (Robert Redford) impersonates a private investigator in order to trick Elena (Lee Garlington) while getting radio feed from the group.

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.

I love the camera work and absence of music here. Even though the acting is generic adlib comedy, this entire scene delivers.

[rhueoflandorin]

cut out the last bit!!
"give 'em head....*scoffs"
"be a beacon" LOLZ

[XxAssassinsXx]

This movie has funny scenes you wouldnt expect a movie to have and it makes you laugh because it does. Its funny and good

[drpapa]

"And never let him know, that ... that you know what he thinks you don't know that you know ... You know?"

[dalefraser]

One of those movies that I really wish could have gotten a sequel.

[butterfliesandtape]

What a cast and what a script. Redford's stumble over the desk in the opening scene was of course unscripted. Be a

[WazZappening]

I remember watching this as a youngin and loving this movie, didn't understand the "give him head whenver he wants" part until a few years later lol. Whistler was a true MVP for that move lmao

[ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid]

Robert Redford's acting is superlative.

[RobertLeather]

Great movie, great clip. Just sad you cut it before you hear Redford go
"Give him head?" 
And Strathairn replies "Be a beeeeacon." :D

[rogerkincaid]

This is what I call a great teamwork...

[hibob]

Just caught an inside joke about this scene the other day in the movie, "Sum of All Fears."
The lady in this scene with Redford plays a CIA researcher in "Sum" and jokes about the Russian premiere having an affair with a lady named Elena Reishkoff (sp?) which also happens to be her character's name here in "Sneakers."
Boy, that was a long way to go for not much payoff...
Thanks for posting.

Lee Garlington is the Pete Best of the Seinfeld cast

[SaneIsCrazy]

And never let him know that... you know what he thinks you don't know, but you know. You know?

[coolcat]

Great scene.  I noticed that the actress in this scene is also in 2 other films by the director - Phil Alden Robinson.  She was the "Nazi Cow" lady who was at the PTA conference in Field of Dreams & she was also one of the CIA agents in Sum of All Fears.

[abefroman]

1:02 cause 1 shopping mall was not rich enough hahaha

[Ivan_Ardon]

I think the "give him head" part had to be improvised. There's no way that reaction from Sidney Poitier was rehearsed! haha

[TheSaneHatter]

"Who do you think PAID for your little love-jaunt to Mexico City?"

"That was good."

[kirkhensley]

I feel bad not knowing the actress' name here. At 1:24 her "Ha!" And those reactions "Oh!" 1:27 she the throws around are excellent!

[Christian-crfl]

Wow! What the *@#$ !!!! We were just kids — Wait that was a bad dream!

[Christian-crfl]

What!?! He's what . . God? "π" ? No wonder why I've been seeing Redskins everywhere! 🤫
